To model columns for industrial steel structure using TSD

1)

Aim :-

Summarize the user interface in TSD

Project Workspace

• Open the Tekla Software and click on the New option.
• Now the project workspace will be visible
• 

Scene Content– Demonstrate the use of scene content

• Open the Tekla Software and click on the New option.
• Now the project workspace will be visible
• Now click on the screen content option(at the left side of the screen) and now we can enable or disable the element and that is applied to the model
• 

Create two scene views

• The two scene views can be created with the help of the isometric cube, if we select the top view, we can see the 2D, while selecting the other ways, 3D can also be seen

Loading drop list- How to access

• A loading drop list can be seen on the left side of the project interface, there we can see the load cases and load combinations

Properties windows – how to access and usage

• Select the properties window in the left most side and then the properties will be visible on the project interface
• 

Currency columns allow for an organization to configure multiple currencies that can be used for rows in the organization. When organizations have multiple currencies, they typically want to be able to perform calculations to provide values using their base currency. When you add a currency column to a table that has no other currency columns, two additional columns are added:

• A lookup column called Currency that you can set to any active currency configured for your organization. You can configure multiple active currencies for your organization in Settings > Business Management > Currencies. There you can specify the currency and an exchange rate with the base currency set for your organization. If you have multiple active currencies, you can add the currency column to the form and allow people to specify which currency should be applied to money values for this row. This will change the currency symbol that is shown for the currency columns in the form.

  Individuals can also change their personal options to select a default currency for the rows they create.

  To create a layout with grids and column pedestal

  Step:1) Open TSD and set units to metric

  

  Step:2) Create grid lines according to the layout

  Model >Grid lines

  

  Draw the grid lines in X & Y direction

  

  Step:3) Create grid lines according to the layout

  

  Step:4) Create columns for pedestal

  Create column properties -Home > Manage property sets

  

  Select the columnn type and add at grid intersections

  

• Building Information Modelling is design and documentation system that suppose to the design drawings and schedules required for the building project. Revit building elements are three types,

  1. View Elements
  2. Model Elements
  3. Annotate Elements
     • Annotation Elements
     • Datum Elements

  Building Information Modelling is holistic process of creating and managing information for a built asset. Based on intelligent model unable to buy cloud platform BIM integration structured, multidisciplinary data to produce a digital representation of an asset across its life cycle from planning and design to construction operations. BIM is a virtual representation of a physical and functional characteristics of facility from inception onwards, as such it serves as a shared information repository for collaboration throughout facilities life cycle. BIM consist mainly of 3D modelling concepts in addition of information, database technology and interpolate software in a desktop computer environment that architect’s engineers and contractors can be used to design a facility and simulate construction, so this technology allows members of the project team to generate a virtual model the structure and all of its system in a 3D and to be able to share that information with each other.

  Features of BIM: there are multiple features of BIM available in the beam software

  1. Easy access to information: It is a physical representation of the both physical and functional characteristics of the building process that provides very minute detail of the project
  2. Making the process more expressive: CAB software allows the user to work accurately in three dimensions that is length, breadth and depth however BIM modelling services providers allowed to work in five dimensions that is time and cost apart from length, breadth and depth they are able to produce accurate cost and material estimates precise time schedules of the project even as the design is being developed.
  3. Comprehensive view of the project: BIM model not only presence the 3D geometric mean of the structure they provide a more comprehensive overview of the entire building process, actually it covers every component of this process from geometrical aspects of the design to spatial relationship from light analysis to provision of various services from topographical information’s to quantities on properties and so on.

  Benefits of BIM:

  1. Complete Representation: complete representation of a building design it takes more than the building 4 components into account for example BIM allows you to design electrical and HVAC systems as well as the building itself.
  2. Instant Updates: BIM allows you to provide instant updates of all the components.
  3. Time Constraint: BIM model will allow you to prefabricate important components ahead of time you won’t have to adjust them based on the building design insert such components are part of the initial design.
  4. Resource Tracking: the models you give to your clients update constantly as you work on your projects your clients can check in anytime which leads to quick approval for milestone and more efficient project development. resource tracking is there actually a key component of BIM models you will be able to figure out how much of each resource is you need during design stage this improves the flow and efficiency of constructions

  2) Understand the concept of Categories, Families, Elements, Instances in Revit. Go to Insert Tab, choose a category. Pick a family and element. Understand the instances and insert it to Revit model

  ANSWER

  • Category: it is one of the Revit element hierarchies, it controls the organization, disability, the graphical representations and scheduling options of families within the project.
  • Family: family is a group of 2D or 3D information that serves to represent discrete building or documentation element in the project. it defines parametrical, graphical and documentation requirement also.
  • Type Option: type specific representation in a family defined by distinct parameter, graphical documentation characteristics which makes its unique from other types in the family
  • Elements or Instances: it is an individual representation of time in the project, defined by unique parametric graphical and documentation characteristics which makes it unique from other instances in the project

  • INSERT ELEMENT

    • Launch the Revit software
    • Open last week challenge 01 Architectural Drawing
    • Go to the Insert View and click on the Load Family or
    • Go to the Architecture tab and drop down the Component option

    

    • Click on to the Place a Component
    • A new tab will open Modify| Place Component

    

    • Select Load family option from Mode
    • It will open a dialog box for CATEGORY
    • Select the desire category like door, Window, etc.

    

    • After selected category, Select the TYPES like Commercial, Hardware, Residential

    

    • After that we have multiple ELEMENTS
    • Select the door as required

    

    • Select the specific size of door

    

    Result:

    The pedestals where created from GF to intermediate
