Tekla Structures Extension Edge Reinforcement With Meshes

Tekla Structures Extension Edge Reinforcement With Meshes by Tekla Corporation is a purpose-built tool for modeling and detailing mesh reinforcement along slab and wall edges. It streamlines the placement of mesh strips at edges, corners, and around openings, helping structural detailers and fabricators deliver accurate, constructible reinforcement in both cast-in-place and precast projects.

Key capabilities:

• Parametric, rule-based mesh placement along selected edges and faces, including straight, curved, and sloped edges and variable-thickness areas.
• Configurable cover, offsets, lap lengths, anchorage, hooks, and layering; supports staggered laps and alternative lap orientations.
• Automatic trimming and continuation at corners, recesses, steps, penetrations, and openings, with options for corner wrapping and returns.
• Mesh selection from catalogs, including custom meshes; supports rebar sets and company-standard attributes.
• Clash-aware placement with clear feedback to reduce rework.
• Seamless integration with Tekla drawings, numbering, and reports for consistent marks, schedules, and quantities.
• Presets and saved attribute files for fast, repeatable office standards and region-specific practices.
• Works within typical Tekla workflows, including pour units, phases, and IFC export.

Benefits:

• Speeds up edge reinforcement detailing while improving consistency and compliance with project standards.
• Reduces manual edits and errors through intelligent, rules-driven placement.
• Produces fabrication-ready information directly from the model, supporting efficient documentation and coordination.

Typical workflow:

1. Select target slab or wall faces and the edges to reinforce.
2. Choose mesh types and positioning rules, including covers, laps, and offsets.
3. Preview, adjust options for corners and openings, then apply.
4. Generate drawings and reports with correct marks and quantities.

Requirements:

• Tekla Structures with rebar modeling capabilities and appropriate environment settings and mesh catalogs. For detailed compatibility and installation guidance, refer to your Tekla Warehouse listing and local environment documentation.
