Grade redirections allow Tekla
PowerFab to change material shapes and grades that are imported to Tekla
PowerFab with the desired shape and grade. When you use grade redirections,
the imported material shape and grade are redirected to the appropriate material shape and
grade.
For example, if an item to be imported has the grade A500-GR.B, adding a
redirection allows Tekla
PowerFab to recognize the grade and use the A500
grade from the material database.
