1 Introduction 3 (8)

1. Introduction

The general wire loops in Tekla Structures include lifting hooks EB_WL* custom
components. They can be used individually or with Wall-Wall_staright component, which
puts them into cast unit of Sandwich wall element.

The wire loops use round rebars. They are of undefined material, which is found in all Tekla
Structures environments.

The default common parameters can be changed on dialog to match your own needs.
Product name is mapped to mainpart’s NAME field. Description and product code are UDA-
fields found in common environment’s objects.inp file. Product code can be used for
example in EPR data transfer.

2. Lifting hooks

There are 3 sizes of wire loops: 80, 100 and 120 mm.

Naming conventions:

EB embed

WL80 wire loop + length of wire loop outside the box

BL bent left side

BR bent right side

S straight

45 angle

Common parameters:

Product name WL80

Description Steel_loop

Product code WL80

Numbering prefix EB_WL80
