What is Pratt Truss Over a Building!! Tekla Structural Designer

 Hello Friends!!


In this blog we are going to learn about model of pratt trush  over a building in Tekla Structural Designer.


So what is Pratt Truss? 

It is a truss includes vertical members and diagonals that slope down towards the center. 


The interior diagonals are under tension under balanced loading and vertical elements under compression.


So let's take a composite 5 stroyed building which have been made and loads applied. In this model first three levels are designed in RCC and rest two levels we are going to design in Steel. 


Let's discuss the procedure.

1st step- For inserting the truss go to "Model" then select any type of Truss and specify 1st and 2nd point it it. Then click Next and then you can define it's priorities under it you can design it's division, you can increase or decrease the numbers, also you can modify height and many more then click "Finish".

2nd-After that go to "Edit" option then copy the truss type to 2nd point. 


3rd- Now next thing is to provide Roof panels so before it go to service load and through Area load option  give value 2kNM^2  then go to design for analysis and Design before it check all load combinations then finish. 

Then generete drawings you can find all the drawing in CAD file. 


So this is all about Design Process of Pratt Truss using Tekla Structural Designer.

We also shown this method in YouTube : -https://youtu.be/rkDIv31i0Jg

How to Reset the Windows Layout/Missing Properties Bar in Tekla Structural Designer

  Any User of Tekla Structural Designer or any other software is used to the default format that is present while you install the software, the same is in the case of WIndows Layout in Tekla Structural Designer. In this blog we will show you how to restore the arrangement of menu bars if for any reason it has been misplaced or any particular menu like the properties or scene content is missing as you can see in the image below that the arrangement of menus is hotchpotch.  Let's look at the steps to restore the Windows Layout Under Home Go to “ Settings ” Click on “ Open Folder ” Click on the Version name (In this case it is Version 20.0/TSD 2020) Folder containing 2 nos. Xml files open (Dock Layout & QAT Commands) Close Tekla Structural Designer.This step is very important otherwise the process won’t work. Delete the two XML Files Open Tekla Structural Designer, you will find that all the menus have been restored. Hope these steps worked for you, you can also check out our...

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...

How to Modify User Interface of Tekla Structures

  Tekla Structures is a building information modeling 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 a detailing software like Tekla Structures, it is very useful we can import the plan or the gridline of the beam column plane directly, as it helps us to assign the elements of the structure which we are going to make in Tekla Structures. In this blog, we are going to discuss how we can modify User Interface in Tekla Structures. So let's start the step by step procedure. To change the size of icons in toolbar and font size in Ribbon Step 1: Go to file  Step 2: Select Settings Step 3: There you will find and option of User Interface Step 4: To change the size of icons of the toolbar you have three options of small, medium and large. You can choose any according to your requirement Step 5: To change the font size of R...
