  • Minimum Pocket Depth for Coloumns

    Minimum Pocket Depth for Coloumns

    What is the minimum pocket depth required for rebated coloumns

    The minimum washer size is 3 mm. This could be different. If nothing is mentioned use 3 mm.

    The minimum bolt stick out should be 1 pitch. For M20 it is 2.5 mm. Use 10 mm stick out.

    Also there is grout. Pockets when cast could be of different depths. Use design grout of 15 mm minimum.

    The top of the bolt should be 35 mm below slab level to prevent concrete Cracking.

    Hence to be practical use 100 mm pocket depth with a base plate thickness of 16 mm and bolt size of 20 mm.

    • Extracting Bolt Distances of Single Part Drawings (Beams) With an Output In Excel – Part 2 (Tekla Open API)

        In the last part, we left off having collected the relevant Single Part Drawings that we were after. Hopefully we have applied the correct property to filter out the ‘HEA’, ‘IPE’ and ‘CC’ drawings. We will now focus on part II – extracting the distance of the bolts from the beam’s start position.  …

    • Extracting Bolt Distances From Single Part Drawing Files With an Output In Excel – Part 1 (Tekla Open API)

      Every now and again we obtain a request from our readership to tackle a problem. If it is of general interest to the public and given our commitments we do sometimes oblige. Here is one such interesting problem. We will tackle this in three parts, and will focus on part 1 in this blog post.…

    • What are curve parameters? (AutoCAD .net API)

      A perusal of the .net Reference Guide reveals these types of functions:   But as per usual, there is no explanation in the documentation as to what a exactly a parameter is. This is best explained by example. Stay with me here: Suppose you have a curve (i.e. a polyline) that has n points. Or…

    • BREP API – A Very Basic Primer (AutoCAD .net API)

        The boffins at AutoDesk have ported that which has existed in the ObjectARX API into .net – it’s basically a wrapper. And on a side-note – it is well worth reading the ObjectARX documentation for that very reason – let’s face it – the documentation for AutoCAD APIs are not very good. So definitely…

    Batch Edit a Part in Tekla Structures

    TeklaStructures has a batch editing utility for Assemblies.

    However, if we have to batch edit parts there is nothing.

    Our detailers have demanded that we develop a utility to do batch editing of parts.
