1.Setup model for RC building design and based on following parameters for cover.

A.Aim: To setup model for RC building design and based on following parameters for cover.

Tools Required:

Tekla model
File Menu
Settings
Structural Defaults

Procedure:

Firstly, open the new file.

Now under the file menu select the settings option.
A dialogue box will appear on the screen.
Now select the structural defaults and sets all the values as per our requirement.

Result:

Hence the parameters for the structural model are set accordingly.

2. Model grids as per the attachment 2,2.1 and 2.2.

A.Aim: To model the grids as per the attachment 2,2.1 and 2.2.

Tools Required:

Construction Levels
Girds
Parallel (quick)
Properties

Procedure:

Firstly, open the new file.

Now under the structures option select the construction levels and mane them and give the spacing as per the attachments.
Now click on model tab and select the grid option.
Now with the help of that option draw a grid line and keeping that as reference draw the remaining grid lines.

Result:

Hence we were able to create the construction levels along with the model grid lines as per the attachments provided.

3. Study the layout and write a summary for general arrangement of the structure.

A.Aim: To study the layout and write a summary for general arrangement of the structure.

Tools Required:

Attachments
Paint Tool

Procedure:

The drawing interface layer provides for graphic input of an architectural plan. It is a menu-driven drafting system that incorporates the following features.

Provides a convenient drawing system.

Does the initial processing necessary to identify and classify the building components in a drawing, producing a representation of the drawing using a frame-based representation.

Extracts the geometric features and produces a semantic network representation of the drawing; this semantic network representation links together the frame representation of building components.

The friendly interface is facilitated by access to the underlying knowledge structures about building components. The menu driven system can automatically access the meanings of the symbols that it draws.

With the help of paint tool open the attachments there and draw in the file where ever you wanted to place beams.

And draw in the place where ever you wanted to place columns.

Result:

Hence the layout is perfectly studied and in process of execution.

4. Model RC columns, beams and slabs as per your general arrangement.

A. Aim: To model RC columns, beams and slabs as per your general arrangement.

Tools Required:

Levels
Manage Properties
New
Members
Concrete Column.
Concrete Beam
Slab
Grids
RC beams
RC Columns
Slab
Manage Properties
Properties

Procedure:

Open the grids files that you have already created.

Now click on the levels option which is present at the right side of the display and you will be directed to a new dialogue box where in you have to assign the levels accordingly as show in the picture give below with its respective values, later click ok.

Now select the manage properties option and again you will be directed to a new dialogue box where in you have to select and create a new member of concrete column naming it as CC1 assign the values as per our requirement in the general tab.

Now you can also edit the other values like the length and width also the shape of the column and many more.

After all the settings are done click ok.

Now you can see the grids file that is open on your project workspace now select on column that is present under the model tab.

Now you can see that there are properties of the column displayed at the properties bar although you have modified the properties but its good to go for a check for you to feel everything is according to our requirement.
