Example: Use family numbers

In this example, the following four beams have the numbering series prefix B and the start number 1. The parts have the same main profile, and each pair has the same length, but the holes are different.

Assembly position: B/1

Assembly position: B/2

Assembly position: B/3

Assembly position: B/4

We use the following family numbering settings:

  • Use family numbering for series: add series B/1

  • Compare: select options Main part profile and Overall length

With the given family numbering criteria, Tekla Structures divides the beams into two families. All beams have the same profile, but each pair has a different length. Within both families the beams get different qualifiers because they have different holes.

  • The first beam gets the assembly position number B/1-1

  • The second beam gets the assembly position number B/1-2

  • The third beam gets the assembly position number B/2-1

  • The fourth beam gets the assembly position number B/2-2
