To model columns for industrial steel structure using TSD
1.
AIM: Create column properties for different types of pedestal members and model in the grids created as per the assignment 1
SOLUTION:
- Open the Tekla Structural designer->project workspace will open
- Create new file->Go to Model tab->Construction Level.
- A new tab will open->create the levels you want according to the file given

- Now go to model tab->Grid lines
- draw the grid lines according to the file given

- Now to to Home tab->Manage property sets
- property sets tab opens->create new property->concrete columns
- set the properties of 400x600,M30->Click OK

- Now place the columns on the grids
- Go to Base floor from the levels ->Go to model tab->CLick on concrete column
- Go to properties panel->select the C1 property from drop down list
- apply on the grids where you want the columns.
- The show below is the top view of the columns

- Click on Structure 3D to view

AIM: Create column properties for steel columns and model columns in the grid created as per assignment 1.
SOLUTION: To model the columns on the grids,we have to create the property sets of the following
- Go to Home ribbon tab->Manage property sets
- Create New property->Members->Steel columns
- set thr property to ISMB ,MB300
- CLick OK

- Now open the groudn floor plan->set the top restrants as top roof
- Go to model tab->select steel column->set the property set as SC1
- apply the columns to the grids

3.
AIM: Create beam properties and model primary and secondary beams on the ground floor
SOLUTION:To create the beam we have to create the property sets first for both primary and secondary beams.
- Go to home tab->Manage property sets
- Create New set->Members->Steel beams
- Create different sets of Beams B2(MB300),B3(MB400),SB1(MB250)

- Now go to the Ground floor plan->Go to madel tab->Steel beams
- Select the beams as per the requirements(B3,B4 or SB1)
- Draw the beams from grids to grids


- For the secorndary beams we divide the distance in not more than 4m
- Using the construction lines we draw the line for secondary beams

- Now go to model->steel beams->select the SB1 from the property panel
- draw the secondary beams

- The full beam shown on 3D below
