Embed (1008)
Embed (1008) creates one or more embeds in concrete parts. You can create multiple embeds to be used as lifting anchors with one insertion point.

Embeds |
Selection order
- Select a concrete part.
- Pick one point on the part face
where you want to insert the embed.
The detail is created automatically when you pick the point.
Picture tab
Use the Picture tab to control the embed dimensions, connection method and rotation.
Embed dimensions
Define if the embed needs to be recessed. You can define the dimensions of the recess, distance from the recess plane to the top of the embed, select the shape of the cutout and whether the cutouts are handled as empty cutouts or cutouts with a formwork part.
| Option | Example |
|---|---|
| Circle |
|
| Half moon X |
|
| Square |
|
| Half moon Y |
|
Top part/Bottom part
Set the part class and rotation. Each option rotates the embed 90 degrees counterclockwise. You can define also a fixed rotation angle.
How to connect top part to concrete element
Select whether the top part of the embed is created, and if set to Yes, select how the part is connected to the concrete part.
How to connect bottom part
Select whether the bottom part of the embed is created, and if set to Yes, select how the part is connected to the concrete part.
Select a custom part from the Applications & components catalog
Select a custom part from the Applications & components catalog to be used as embed. To use saved custom component properties, select the saved properties file.
Use the Yes and subassembly option to add the embed as a subassembly to the main part. The default direction is 2 point +x.
Top part tab
Use the Top part tab to define the top part of the embed.
Top part dimensions
Use the diameter and height boxes to define the shape of the top part of the embed. You can define the main diameters of parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 also on the Parts tab.
Examples
Embed top part defined on the Top part tab, embed bottom part defined on the Bottom part tab.|
|
|
|
Bottom part tab
Use the Bottom part tab to define the bottom part of the embed.
Bottom part dimensions
Use the diameter and height boxes to define the shape of the bottom part of the embed. You can define the main diameters of parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 also on the Parts tab.
For examples, see Top part tab.
Parts tab
Use the Parts tab to define the embed top and bottom part profiles and the formwork part properties.
Part properties
Both the top and the bottom part are build from multiple profiles. You can define profiles for each section.
Define the part properties for the top, bottom and formwork part. If the profile properties are left empty, the lengths and diameters defined on the Top Part and Bottom Part tabs are used.

Bolts
Click the Bolts button to open the Bolts dialog box where you can define extra embeds and embed offsets.
Embed (1008) uses only the Horizontal Dist. and Vertical Dist. options, the other options are not taken into account.
Example
In the example below, the bolt placement uses fixed dimensions from part edges, defined on the Placement tab. Extra embeds are defined in the Bolts dialog box.
Optionally, you can also use the Sec/first and Positioning options to define a distance from the edge of the beam.
