To model beams and bracings for industrial steel structures using TSD

QUESTION 1

AIM

To create beam property and model primary and secondary beams on the ground floor, first floor, Roof level

INTRODUCTION

Tekla structure and basic building objects are provided and detailed further. Columns, beams are modeled and properties are assigned such as material, alignments, supports, design code etc. Certain configurations are assigned before modelling the object such as design code, analysis type, scenes, materials etc

PROCEDURE

• Open Tekla software
• Click on manage property sets
• Click on New
• Select steel beams
• Create three types of beams and assign steel beam properties
• Three types of beams are taken 
• Beam 1- ISMB250, Beam 2- ISMB350, Beam 3- ISMB500
• Untick auto design in each of the beams
• Major alignment is taken as a bottom in the beams

we get,

For secondary beam, 

Roof level,

RESULT

The first floor and the model beam has been created

QUESTION 2

AIM

To create rafter beam on second floor as roof and moment frame action in one direction and add bracings at locations as per the design intent

PROCEDURE

• Now create the frame at every grid

Now create rafter

Model the rafter

Now create the ridge rafter to support the rafter

Now create the steel brace

Noe model the roof panel

Go to slab property and create the slab

Model the slab

RESULT
