2022 SP8: Important improvements and fixes

The latest Tekla Structures service pack and updated environment installers are available in Tekla Downloads.

Replace tables in drawing layout

With the new Layout editor context menu command Replace table you can replace tables in your layout. To replace a table, right-click the table in the layout and select Replace table.

Replacing a table preserves all the settings that you have defined for the table you replace. The new command eliminates the need to first remove a table in the layout, then add a new template, set the anchor point and alignment, and finally connect other tables around the new one.

Change in controlling pour unit visibility in Organizer

Tekla Structures 2022 introduced the Pour units enabled setting in Organizer, enabling you to control whether pour units or cast-in-place cast units are used as the highest cast-in-place hierarchy level in Organizer. The Pour units enabled setting is located on the Synchronization tab in Organizer Settings.

Starting from Tekla Structures 2022 SP8, to use the Pour units enabled setting, you need to set the XS_ENABLE_POUR_MANAGEMENT advanced option to TRUE. Note that if the XS_ENABLE_POUR_MANAGEMENT advanced option is set to FALSE, thePour units enabled setting is not shown in Organizer, and you cannot use pour units as the highest cast-in-place hierarchy level in Organizer.

Previously, the Pour units enabled setting was always available in Organizer Settings, regardless of the advanced option value.

TTSD-56158

Weld reference text can be used in custom components

You can now use weld reference text in custom components. Note that the weld reference text can be represented as a single line only.

Rebar end anchor now correctly creates end detail modifiers for rebar sets in cases where only one bar is affected.

TSAC-5598 Steel components

Two sided clip angle (143): Previously, the flange cut created due to bolts clashing with the flange was not created for the second secondary beam in all situations. This issue has now been fixed.

TSAC-6355 Steel components

Ring plate: The part and assembly start number of the ring plate are now modified when only the corresponding check boxes are selected. Previously, the part and assembly start number were not modified unless all the check boxes in the dialog box were selected.

TSAC-6356 Steel components

Opening frame: The On plane and At depth offset values on the Parts tab for top frame, bottom frame and vertical posts are length values and they now use the correct units set in Options > Units and decimals. The Angle value for welds and Rotation angle on the Parts tab are angle values and they now use the correct units set in Options > Units and decimals.

TSAC-6400 Steel components

Two sided end plate (142): Previously, safety connections were not correctly applied in all situations. This issue has now been fixed.

TSAC-6652 Steel components

TTSD-50237 Import, export, interoperability

Earlier, when you had set XS_BOLT_DUPLICATE_IGNORE to TRUE, and exported a part as DSTV, some holes were not exported because another bolted part had holes in the same location. This issue has now been fixed.
Note that you should not use this advanced option in any new models. Instead, use the No hole option for Special hole type in the Bolt properties.

TTSD-54310, TTSD-52356 Import, export, interoperability

IFC export: Earlier, the IFC export result did not contain the properties for IfcBuilding and IfcBuildingStorey. Now these properties are shown.

Rebar sets: Previously, for a tapered rebar set bar group with two or more legs, at the point where the height became greater than the width (or vice versa), the leg dimensions in reports swapped around (DIM_A became DIM_B, and vice versa). This issue has now been fixed.

TTSD-25622 Modeling

In the UK environment, the calculated weights of the profiles UB533x165x66 and UB533x165x75 were incorrect due to the cross sectional area being incorrect in the profile catalog. This issue has now been fixed.

TTSD-55548 Modeling

Bolts: Earlier, in Tekla Structures 2022, if you modeled a bolt that went through two or more parts and that had a negative cut length, the bolt was placed incorrectly. This issue has now been fixed.

TTSD-55674 Modeling

Previously, an empty cross section for weld preparation could cause Tekla Structures to stop working unexpectedly. This has now been fixed.

TTSD-55968 Modeling

Rebar assemblies: The Locked user-defined attribute has now been added for rebar assemblies.

TTSD-56274 Modeling

Bolts: Earlier, in Tekla Structures 2022, bolts were incorrectly positioned when beams or columns were deformed by shortening. The incorrect positioning occurred when XS_DRAW_BOLTS_3D_IN_BOLT_LAYER was set to TRUE and when the bolts had the Exact representation in model views. This issue has now been fixed.

TTSD-56351 Tools and components

Previously, when a formula or equation for a sub-object was removed in Custom component browser, it became visible again after clicking Refresh. This has now been fixed.
