What is the purpose of chamfering

Chamfers are modeling details that can be used to refine the shape of parts for aesthetic, practical, and manufacturing reasons. In Tekla Structures, you can chamfer part corners and part edges.

Use the Corner chamfer properties in the property pane to view and modify the properties of a corner chamfer. To open the properties, double-click the handle of chamfered corner.

Use the Edge chamfer properties in the property pane to view and modify the properties of an edge chamfer. To open the properties, double-click the edge chamfer when the chamfer if visible in the model. The file name extension of an edge chamfer property file is *.cha.

Chamfered edge meaning

To make it easier to select the handles of part corners, ensure that the Direct modification switch is not active.

The concave major cutting edges and special flute profile ensure a good chip evacuation, while the sturdy cutter geometry with special point geometry and 4 cutting edges ensures drilling with excellent process reliability.

To see the corner chamfer lines of polybeams, set the advanced option XS_​DRAW_​CHAMFERS_​HANDLES to CHAMFERS or to CHAMFERS_AND_HANDLES.

Only the following parts have corner chamfers: contour plates, concrete slabs, strip footings, steel and concrete polybeams, and concrete panels.

Chamfer cornerinstallation

This Holex Solid Carbide Drill is designed for use in a wide range of applications of steel materials thanks to a combination of tough ultra-fine grain carbide and extremely wear-resistant and heat-resistant coating.

When Tekla Structures creates a part, by default it has a rectangular chamfer at each corner, which does not change the geometry of the part. You can modify the default chamfers.

Full: The end point is positioned at the end of the part (moving along the nearest edge), and the shape is straight.

The table below describes the available corner chamfer types and dimensions. The chamfer type numbers can be used in sketches and custom components. Straight chamfers can have different dimensions in two directions. Curved chamfers only use one dimension.

The end points of a part do not have corner chamfers. The handles that you select must be at corner points or between two segments of a part.
