To model beams and bracings for industrial steel structures using TSD

AIM : To model beams and bracings for industrial steel structures using TSD

1.Create beam properties for First floor and model the beams

• FOLLOW THE SAME PROCEDURE TO CREATE BEAMS IN THE FIRST FLOOR AS PER THE PREVIOUS CHALLENGE GROUND FLOOR.
• Create the primary beams and secundary beams .

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

• first we have to define the rafter beam in thwe manage property sets.
• then go to home tab and create frames by takeing the frame option to do that simply select the grid it will generate frame.
• after that go to struture and select the frame which you want to draw the rafter beams.
• then draw the rafter beam and check the drawn beams in the 3d model.

• next go to management property sets define the brace properties .
• then go to model frames in the structure tab.
• then go to model tab selcet the x type brace and draw the braces @ the frame A and D .

• now goto to the wall panel option in the model tab select the opposite corners of the wall which you want to create .

• similar to the wallpanel design we can create the roof panels also .

• now we cxan also add slab at first floor level and second floor level.
• first define the manage property sets creatre the slab with a depth of 180mm.
• then draw the concrete slab at each level.
