Input files (.inp files)

Tekla Structures uses input files for various purposes, for example, to manage user-defined attributes and some component dialog boxes, and for defining how components work. All input files have the extension .inp.

Input files that you can use for configuring Tekla Structures are listed below.


File	Description
analysis_design_config.inp	Contains settings for analysis and design.
fltprops.inp	Includes materials and dimensions of available flat bars.
mesh_database.inp	Contains definitions for reinforcement meshes.
objects.inp	Used to manage user-defined attributes.
objects_rebar_set.inp	Used to manage user-defined attributes of rebar sets.
pop_mark_parts.inp	Contains settings for pop-marking.
privileges.inp	Used to control access rights.
profitab.inp	Contains available parametric profiles.
rebar_config.inp	Contains settings for reinforcement marks.
rebar_database.inp	Rebar catalog. Contains definitions for reinforcing bars and strands.
rebar_schedule_config.inp	Contains internal bending types of reinforcing bars and their mapping to area specific bending codes. Rebar shape manager is a more versatile way to define reinforcing bar bending shapes.

Tekla Structures also imports and exports rebar catalogs as .inp files.
