-> Dimensions

-> Microsoft Excel Worksheet

Procedure:

  • Firstly open the Tekla softwear and open the designed model for which you desired to apply wind load.
  • Now take the dimensions of the model such as height, lenght,width etc.

              

  • Now place the values in the Microsoft Excel Worksheet and type the required content.
  • Multipy the factors as in when required.

Result:

2.Based on the above calculation apply the loadings on the model.

Ans)

Aim:Based on the above calculation applying the loadings on the model.

Tools Required:

-> Loads

-> Loadcases

-> Area load

->Properties -> Direction -> Load value.

Procedure:

  • Firstly open the model that was previously designed.

          

  • Now select the load cases option, you will be directed to a dialogue box and in that add the load cases of your chioce and naming the load as wind load as we are doing that.

                                                 

  • I named the loads as shown in the above picture.

             

  • Now in the below bar of the workspace assing a particular load to the frames that are to be assigned.

         

  • Repeat the loads for the Faces of A,B,C and D accordingly.

         

  • Now assign the loads for the roof too.

       

       

Result:

Hence by following the above procedure we can applying the loadings on the model.

3.On a separate model generate wind loading using wind wizard.

Ans)

Aim:To create a separate model and generate wind loading using wind wizard.

Tools Required:

-> Levels

-> Manage Properties -> New -> Members -> Concrete Column.

-> Grids

-> Columns

-> Manage Properties -> New -> Members -> steel beam.

-> Beams

-> Properties tab

Load -> Wind Wizard

Procedure:

  • Firstly on the workspace create a model of your choice.

              

  • That is to create the grids and then assigning the columns,beams as per the requirement for the building.

          

  • Now select the wind wizard option and you will be directed to a dialogue box on the workspace.

        

  • Now select next and finish because all the values of the structure are already taken by the software itself and there is no values that you have to change.

        

  • Click ok and the work is done.

          

                    

          

         

            

              

Result:

Hence by following the above procedure we will be able to create a separate model and generate wind loading using wind wizard.
