Reinforce Part is used to associate insert reinforcement from design files with into parts in the model and to insert reinforcement from the design file into the part. Any number of parts can be selected.
...
When parts are selected in Tekla Structures the model the associated design file name will be shown if it exists. If not, the text “No Design Selected” will be shown. If multiple parts are selected with different associated design files then the text “Multiple Designs Selected” will be shown.
Whether design files are associated with the parts or not an Any number of parts from one to all parts in the model can be selected to be reinforced. No matter how many parts are selected Sync will reinforce those parts with their previously associated design files. A design file can be associated with the selected parts in the Reinforce Part window before reinforcing but only one file can be chosen so if multiple parts are selected the chosen file will be associated with all parts of the corresponding type (i.e. an Eriksson Wall File (.ewf) can only be associated with the selected walls in the model) and all other parts will maintain their design file associations.
An existing design file can be selected by clicking the button to the right of the file path. This opens the open file dialog box. The type of Eriksson Project File that can be used will be determined by the type types of parts selected in the model. Navigate to the folder that contains the design file and click Open.
...
Before inserting the reinforcement into the model Reinforce Part settings can be changed as needed. The settings provide options Options are provided to choose what types of reinforcement to remove and what types of reinforcement to insert, as well as options on how the reinforcement should be placed into the parts.
Removal Settings
Selections can be made about which types of reinforcement to remove from the selected parts before placing reinforcement from the design files.
Insertion Settings
The types of reinforcement to insert from the design files into the selected parts can be selected.
Also, there are many options that change how reinforcement is placed. These settings assist the software in determining how to place the reinforcement when the concrete extents in the design file do not exactly match those of the selected parts.For more information, go to the Reinforce Part Settings page.
Run
Run must be clicked to make the association between the selected parts and the design files if an association does not already exist. Once Run is clicked reinforcement will be read from the design files and placed into the associated parts positions will be calculated according to the selections in the Settings window. The Choose Reinforcement window will be shown that displays all reinforcement, grouped by type, that will be placed. The include check box can be unchecked to not have any reinforcement type placed into the model.
...
When Okay is clicked on the Choose Reinforcement window, Sync will start placing the reinforcement.
A progress bar will appear at the bottom of the Reinforce Part window with information about the status of the reinforcement process with a success or failure message when the operation is complete. After completion the Reinforce Part window can be expanded at the bottom to obtain further information, especially if there were any errors.
