How to find or check the analysis results of axial force, moments, seismic effect in TSD?

  Tekla Structural Designer is software that gives engineers the power to analyze and design buildings efficiently and profitably. Fully automated and packed with many unique features for optimized concrete and steel design. A building will be applied with many loads and now we are going to find the action of earthquake or seismic loads of a particular analyzed building. Refer the below steps to find out the analysis results: Step 1 Open the building model (forces or loads are fully applied) to which effects or analysis results to be known in TSD (I’m taking G+2 building model as example), so now change the default structural view to solver view.   Fig.1   Step 2 After the solver view, change it to the results view, and select the load combinations (of your choice based on design), then turn on results & seismic in the toolbar.             Fig.2 Step 3  So by here you can check all the results of analysis like deflection, axial forces, reactions etc…, which will be in the toolbar (

How to copy & edit loads of the members in the Tekla structural designer?

  Tekla structural designer (TSD) is a simple, integrated design & analysis software that gives engineers the power to analyze and design buildings efficiently and profitably. As we know that a structure will be applied with many loads like dead load, imposed load, wind loads etc.., Let us know how to copy and apply the load of one member to another member. Step 1 Open up the TSD software and in 3D view, you can see the loading pattern of the designed structure (in the form of dead load)   Fig.1   Step 2 To know the loading magnitudes of a particular member- select it and under the properties section select load(s): 1 items option. You can change the magnitude of the load on selected members over there.             Fig.2 Step 3  To copy a load of that member into another member, go to the edit option and then click on copy loads in the toolbar. Then simply go on to the structure and select the member of which load to be copied and click on another member of the structure to apply t
