Beam | You can define the position of a part in terms of its depth, perpendicular to the work plane, as: • Middle • Front • Behind An example showing the options for beams: |

Radius When you create a curved part, you pick three points to define the radius. You can also enter a specific value for the radius in the part properties dialog box. |
|||||
T | The sector angle must be less than 180 degrees. | ||||
Plane | The plane of curvature is relative to the current work plane. The options are: • xz plane • xy plane To have Tekla Structures draw a curved part, you need to specify a number of segments. Tekla Structures does not show curved surfaces exactly in views, instead the number of segments determines how realistic the curved part looks: the more segments, the less angular the part appears. If you specify a large number of segments it affects how quickly Tekla Structures draws the model. See also How handles solids in the online help. |
