  • 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.

    • Precast Panels with Tekla Structures

      This is probably first precast project we have attempted with tekla structures as the tool. We have done a few with Revit, and lot with Autocad. There is raging argument with no one really know (unless one has walked in the weeds) which is a better tool I believe no tool as out of the…

    • Why aren’t the user defined attributes being defined – in Tekla’s “Open” API

      If you want to waste time on a poorly documented API (which doesn’t make any sense) I would highly recommend getting on Tekla. I’m documenting this so some poor soul doesn’t waste a day trying to debug this: Do you see the problem? First insert the beam, and then apply the UDA and it should…

    • How to check if you have a legitimate Tekla Profile using the Tekla Open API

      Our use case? How can we check? Voila! Now it’s hard to make a mistake. If you want to get all materials – it’s very similar to the above. Use the CatalogHandler.GetMaterialItems() method along with the materialItem.MaterialName property. The code to actually do that – I will leave as an exercise to the reader.

    • How to Get Tekla Model Objects if selected by Users (Tekla API)

      A user has pre-selected a set of model objects. We need to retrieve them via the API. How do we do it? All of our code is extracted from our production apps.

    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.
