Tekla Structural Designer How to Use Find, Project wiki, Walk Commands.

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 follow the steps to know how to Use Find, Project wiki, Walk Commands. Step 1 First under the option of Home look at the option of Project Wiki, so in this project wiki, we can find the details of our project click on the Project wiki and go to the option of Metrics and here we can go to the Concrete option to find the no of beams, no of column etc. using the option of project wiki we can get the idea about the size and no of members which are used in the project.   Fig.1 Step 2 Fig.2 Now we have another option that is the Find option. Just click on the Find option in the Home tab and we can find a particular colu

TSD Basic concept of column orientation using 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 see below the basic concept of column orientation in TSD. Step 1 First of all, according to the thumb rule of the column orientation, the longer face of the column will go along the longer span as it is shown in fig. 1.   Fig.1   Fig.2     So now you can see in the image we have created a matrix or a rectangular grid and along the grid we have made a structure and the horizontal length is 7m and the vertical length is 3 m so the total length is 14m and 6m . so we have assigned all the loads in the buildings like dead load, live loads and we will see how the column orientation actually affects so the size of the co

TSD How to import Gridlines of separate floors in TSD.

Let’s go step by step to know how to import Gridlines of separate floors in TSD. Step 1 First of all, select the model and do this in 0 layers. After that, select the center line and make them in the center line layer which we have created i.e. blue in colour and then save the file.   Fig.1 Step 2 Fig.2     Now we will go to the ground floor option, create a new file and press F7 to turn on the grids and we will do some settings of the dimensions. First of all, we will define our text, dimensions and leader also. After that we will create a line of 9 inches and then copy the ground floor model and just align the line on

TSD How to apply Earthquake loads.

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 apply Earthquake loads. Step 1 First of all, we will go to loads then click on seismic loads and then click on the seismic wizard and put the basic information in it then select the use model response spectrum analysis then select the structure type and then we will select moment frame system and click on next then click on finish. Now it will create some load combination as per the seismic load and select operating then we click on LS and then click on finish. After that, we will generate some load combination then click on generate then select LS then click on finish and then click

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 load, TSD has

TSD How to resolve warnings and errors in footings.

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 resolve warnings and errors in footings. Step 1 Fig.1   First of all go to the foundation and change the settings then click on okay. Now go to the level and open the foundation view then click on design pad bases. Step 2 Fig.2   As we can see we are getting errors, so we can solve it by clicking on the scale then click go to the foundations, change some settings then click on ok and again click on design pad bases. So now the error has been removed.      Fig.3 After seeing in design member section we can get in fig.3, it is failing by shear. So we can solve this by increasing the si
