    We recommend that you plan the numbering in an early phase of the project. If other users are using the same model, it is even more important to make a numbering plan that everybody in the project follows. You should have the numbering ready before you create the first drawings and reports.

    When planning the numbering, it can be useful to number the model in phases, for example first floor of the building first, then the second, and so on.

    Give start numbers in wide ranges so that you do not run out of numbers. For example, start the first floor with the start number 1000 and the second with start number 2000.

    If the numbering of a part or assembly is not up to date, a question mark (?) is displayed in the part label and in the Inquire Object dialog box, for example.

    You can set the degree of tolerance for part geometry in the Numbering Setup dialog box. If the geometry of parts differs within this degree of tolerance, Tekla Structures treats the parts as identical for numbering purposes.

    Class and phase do not affect numbering. Tekla Structures gives the same number to identical parts that belong to different classes or phases.

    To determine the number of bolt rows:

    1. Open the Variables dialog box in the custom component editor. 2. Create a new parametric variable. 3. Change Value type to Number for the variable. 4. Browse for Height of the beam in the Custom component browser. 5. Right-click Height and select Copy Reference in the list. 6. Enter the following if statement in Formula of the parametric variable:

    =if (fP(Height,6047)< 301) then 2 else (if (fP(Height,6047)>501) then 4 else 3 endif) endif

    fP(Height,6047) is the beam height reference copied from the Custom component browser.

    The variable gets its value in the following way:

    o If the beam height is under 301 mm, the value is 2. o If the beam height is over 501 mm, the value is 4. o If the beam height is between 300 and 500 mm, the value is 3.

    7. Create a new parametric variable. 8. Change Value type of the new variable to Distance list. 9. Enter =P1+"*"+100 in Formula of the new variable.

    In the formula, 100 is the bolt spacing and the P1 value is the number of bolt rows.

    9 (new models) $ custom components These tips help you in sharing custom components. Store custom components together. It makes them easy to find and export. Provide essential information If you distribute your component to other users, remember to list the profiles it works with. Use library profiles when possible. Then you do not have to copy user-defined profiles when you copy the component to other locations. Remember to copy user-defined profile cross sections with your custom component. Custom component tips This section provides useful hints and tips that help you create and use custom components more efficiently. Click the links below to find out more: Tips for creating custom components Tips for sharing custom components Existing custom components in a new Tekla Structures version Tips for creating custom components These tips help you in creating useful custom components. Enter short, logical names for custom components. Use the description field to describe the component and explain what it does.

    Create simple components for specific situations.

    It is faster and easier to model simple components. They are also much easier to use. Avoid creating a super component to use in every possible situation.

    Consider creating a component model.

    Use the model to create and test custom components. Use the simplest part you can. For example, if all you need is a rectangular shape, use a rectangular plate, not a contour plate. Rectangular plates only have two handles, so you only need to create a few bindings to manipulate them. Contour plates require more because they have four handles.

  • TEKLA Structures 20

    TEKLA Structures 20

    221

    Rectangular plate Contour plate Only model parts as accurately as you need. If the only part information required is a part mark on the GA drawing and a quantity on the materials list, create a simple bar or plate. If you later need to include the part in a detailed view, simply re-model the part more accurately. Model embeds as custom parts and include them in components. Existing custom components in a new Tekla Structures version

    When you start using a new version of Tekla Structures , always check that custom components created in older versions work correctly in the new version. When you open custom components created with an older version of Tekla Structures in the custom component editor, and the new version contains improvements requiring update, Tekla Structures asks whether you want to update the component. If you do not update the component, it works in the same manner as in the version where it was originally created, but you do not gain the benefits of the improvements. If you choose to update the component, you need to check and sometimes recreate dimensions depending on the improvements. When you delete a dimension and create a new one (even with the same name), the equations containing the dimension also need to be modified, because the dependency created by the equation is lost when a dimension is deleted. You can recreate the dimensions and modify the equations in the custom component editor.
