Can we do P-Delta Analysis in Tekla Structural Designer ?

 Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) is a simple, integrated design & analysis software that enables engineers to deliver safe, effective and rationalized design more quickly, regardless of structural material. Reinforcement drawings for the entire building or tonnes of steel for estimating, all available in a touch of a button.

We now know that TSD has the option of both linear and non-linear 2nd order methods of analysis, both types will give P-Δ and P-δ (P-Delta) effects as you can see in the diagram given below.

Today we came with the most wanted topic on Tekla Structural Designer and the topic is Can we do P-Delta Analysis on TSD? 

So the answer is Yes

So before going to start the process let's know about the meaning of P-Delta in Structural Analysis.

In regard to structural Engineering, P-Delta analysis involves geometric nonlinearity, and the effect relates to the sudden changes  in shear, moment etc. at the structure base. Equilibrium compatibility relations of a structural system loaded in its deflected configuration is involved here.


Let's discuss the process. For starting you need to make sure that the building model and assigning of loads is complete in TSD

  1. Open the TSD workframe then click “Analyse” then you will find option "2nd Order" click there and select combination unique and select all the combinations and click OK. After this the analysis of structure will be done.

  1. Select the load combinations and click OK. After this the analysis of structure will be done.



 As a result you will find Axial Load. Shear force, Reactions,  Moments etc. and it's values. 


So this is all about  P-Delta Analysis in Tekla Structural Designer.

STAAD Pro Vs Tekla Structural Designer .Which One Is Better ?

  Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) is a simple, integrated design & analysis software that enables engineers to deliver safe, effective and rationalized design more quickly, regardless of structural material. Reinforcement drawings for the entire building or tonnes of steel for estimating and many more.    So in the above image you can see the first image is created in Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) and in the second image the model has been created in Staad Pro  . we can start the comparison with the grid lines. So for creating grid lines in staad we need to enter the coordinates from the beam column plan as shown in fig.1 and we need to insert it while viewing the beam column plan. Fig 1 We can create grid lines in Tekla Structural Designer directly and in addition        you can also import the beam column plan as shadow as shown in fig 2 .  Fig. 2 • Next step is adding members in staad pro so in addition we need to see the beam colu...

Tekla structural Designer VS ETABS.

Tekla Structural Designer is advanced software used for Structural Analysis and Design of a Building. In Tekla, we can do the detailing of steel structures as well as RCC structures. We can create RCC buildings and we can insert the rebars in Tekla structures Designer software.  We can also do the form works and structural drawing without the help of any other software. Let’s see the difference between TSD and ETABS. Step 1 As per the modelling aspects in ETABS we can import the grid lines we cannot import the shadow of an architectural drawing and in Tekla, we can import grid lines as well as the shadow of an architectural drawing assigning beams and columns is very easy and the modelling becomes quick.  In ETABS we cannot see the extruded view easily but in TSD we can see the extruded view easily. Basically, visualization is easy in TSD as compared to ETABS.   Step 2 In TSD load application is very easy as the dead load and live load both are almost same but in the wind...

Tekla Structural Designer- How to model slant roof in TSD.

Tekla Structural Designer is advanced software used for Structural Analysis and Design of a Building. In Tekla, we can do the detailing of steel structures as well as RCC structures. We can create RCC buildings and we can insert the rebars in Tekla structures Designer software.  We can also do the form works and structural drawing without the help of any other software. Let’s go step by step to know how to model slant roofs in TSD. Step 1 First of all, we will open a new project and define some construction levels. After designing construction levels just click on ok then we will go to the base level and create some grid lines. Now we will create the gridline of 6m then make another grid line parallel to it then join these two grid lines with another two grid lines, one from the top and another from the bottom. Now extend both the parallel grid lines and insert some grid lines and we can also change the properties as per our preference.    Fig. 1 Step 2 Now we will insert...
