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 column plan again and again so that we can place the structural members correctly. Applying members in TSD is comparatively easier as compared to staad as we already have the shadow of beam column plan so we don’t need to look again and again we can directly put the value of the structural members and directly we can get on the model. 

• After inserting the columns we can similarly insert the beams as shown in fig.3 .

                                                                 Fig.3

Now if you compare the two models after inserting the structural members you can see the model that we have created in Staad is a 2D Model as shown in fig 4. and the Model in TSD looks like a 3D Model as shown in fig.5.

                                                                   Fig.4

                                                              Fig.5

• After this we can also apply loads on these model so we will start from Staad so in Staad applying loads is easy and we also have to apply the self weight of the members and live load , dead loads seismic and wind loads whereas in TSD the self load of the member is taken automatically so we don’t have to apply that and it saves time and interface is relatively user friendly making the process fast  and also the application of rest of loads is fast and easy .

• Next is footing design in Staad , we can not design footings on Staad for that we need a separate software but in TSD we can design footings as well as slab.    

So I hope you can now differentiate between Staad pro and Tekla Structural Designer (TSD).

How to study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams which have been generated 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 learn how to study the Reinforcement Drawings of beams that have been generated in TSD. Step 1 As we can see, this building has been fully designed and analysed. Now, just right click on the beam then click on the report for the member and it will generate the report for the member and we will see this and after that, we can also check the file for the particular beam.     Fig.1 Step 2 Now we have 3 numbers of sections, for each beam, it has been made and the respective cross-section is also given. Step 3 Now if we just go through the drawing, we can see that we have 2 bars of 16mm at the top an

How to Provide Reinforcement in multiple columns in Tekla Structures

  Tekla Structures is a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software able to model structures that incorporate different kinds of building materials, including steel, concrete, timber and glass. However it is widely used for the detailing of structural drawing.  In this blog, we are going to discuss how  to provide reinforcement in multiple columns in Tekla Structures.  So let's start the step by step procedure Step 1 : At first we must make sure that our model is correct and after that we will look for the column reinforcement application.   Step 2 : Search result will give us lots of options which includes application of column (for both the RCC and steel).  Step 3 : Now from there we have to select an app for RCC. column.  Step 4 : We will go for Application no. 57 which is "Column automated reinforcement layout". Step 5 : Select and define the application according to our requirement. Now select all the columns by dragging the mouse from right to left. It will select
