Adding Ferrule Bolt
How to create a Ferrule Bolt and Use it.
Steps Edit Bolt Catalogue. Add the Ferrule bolt in this case we are going start from BOLTFB1640 and create BOLTFB1655 Then we add a bolt Assembly catalog. Again we start from Bolt BOLTFB1640 and create BOLTFB1655 Then we use that in tekla to model the bolt. When you model the bolt make sure 1. No nut is used 2. Washer is on the head side. 3. Cut length is negative of the length you want. This decides the length of the bolt in report. Most important do not ignore — Take report and check.
Use Trimble Connect for Quick Checking
Trimble Connect for Checking
Upload the reference models when you upload the model to trimble connect.
Now any one can make some quick checks.
You can turn off/on the reference models for quick checks.
May adjust the transparency too

Culvert Mould
We were requested to develop a culvert mould for the precast manufacturere.
Problems to Solve
- Reusable
- Easy to de mould
- No injury to personnel
- Cheap.
- Accuracy of final product.
We have studied the requirements came up with a design. Submitted inital model with markups.
Very few changes were done and the final design completed and shop drawings delivered.
If you have any need for developing some tooling fixtures or anything which requires design, then Tek1 is the GOTO place.
