Challenge

To model beams and bracings for industrial steel structures using TSD

  1. Create beam properties for First floor and model the beams
  • 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 bottom in the beams
  • Now place beams at the first floor
  • MB 500 beams are placed Horizontally on plan
  • MB 350 Beams are placed vertically on plan
  • MB 250 beams are placed as secondary beams
  1. 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
  • Go to model tab
  • Go to manage property set
  • Select new steel beam : Rafter
  • Assign properties to the beam : Section is ISMB500, untick autodesign , Major aligment is bottom and Under releases both ends are fixed
  • Model it in to the structure
  • Create another steel beam : Ridge beam
  • Assign properties to the beam : Section is ISMB300, untick autodesign and Major aligment is bottom
  • Model it with the help of frames.
  • Go to manage property sets
  • Add new member : Steel brace
  • Assign section as : Equal angle 75x75x8 size and Connection as bolted, Untick : Autodesign
  • Add frames with the help of grids to ease with modelling frames.
  • Add x brace accordingly.
