Reinforce Part is used to associate design files with parts in the model and to insert reinforcement from the design file into the part. Any number of parts can be selected.
Associated Design File
When parts are selected in Tekla Structures 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 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 of parts selected in the model. Navigate to the folder that contains the design file and click Open.
The design file will not be associated with the parts until the Run button is clicked.
Settings
Before inserting the reinforcement into the model Reinforce Part settings can be changed as needed. The settings provide options 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.
