To model beams and bracings for industrial steel structures using TSD

QUESTION : 1 Create beam properties for First floor and model the beams

ANS:

AIM: To Create beam properties for First floor and model the beams

PROSEDURE:

STEP: 1 Go to TDS software Open the challenge 2 file

STEP: 2 go to home tab < Manage Properties sets property set tab will appear < click on New < member < steel beam Edit the properties you want in the beam and rename it as well

STEP: 3 go to strutural window in left of screen click on levels < first / intermediate floor level as you can see above NO beams are seen as we have given all beams in ground floor Now go to model tab < steel beams < select the beam property set you made for firstfloor and apply the beams on the top of the columns now go to 3D structure and view to see the model

STEP: 4 To create secondary beam on first floor/ intermediate level Go to Home tab < manage property sets < new < member < steel beam specify reqiured chnages and rename it

STEP: 5 Now go to level < open intermideate level Now go to level < open intermideate level create construction line according to the place you want the secondary beams the construction lines showing is the places we will place the secondary beams on the intermediate floors apply the secondary beams on the first floor

RESULT: hence, we Created beam properties for First floor and model the beams

QUESTION :2 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

ANS:

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

PROSEDURE:

STEP: 1 continue the work on smae file as above go to levels < roof level only primanry beams are designed at roof level as this level will not support high loads check the beams used on first floor and use the same beams on the roof level

STEP: 2 Go to model tab < select steel beam in properties select the same beam as 1st floors start creating the beam on grids as required

STEP: 3 Now we have to change the column hight to the roof level go to window tab < scene content < uncheck the grids and beams {visible only collumns} select all columns go to property window< top level change the top level constrain to roof level and apply

STEP: 4 go to home pannel < manage property set < new < member < steel beams input the properties and rename it

STEP: 5 Now create frame go to model panel < Frames < then selct the grid line where you want to create the frames now go to Frame D < create a construction line for rafter intersecting at mid height now go to model < steel beam < select rafter from property panel < draw on intersecting lines STEP: 6 Now to create rafter on other column select rafter < go to edit < copy < select reffence point , select the placeing points and enter

STEP: 7 design of steel bracing go to home tab < manage property set < new < member < steel brace selct the section < equal angle {75x75x8} rename it and make other neccessary changes

STEP: 7 go to model tab < braces < select brace from property browser from the brace panel select the X brace More projects by Neha Now open thr FRAME 7 to view the section draw the braces on the frame simillarly, put the brace where ever required go to 3D view to see the braces in 3D the brace on the roof to br done now go to model panel < select brace1 from proepty browser draw the brace on the top roof

RESULT: Hence, we Created rafter beam on second floor as roof
