To model columns for industrial steel structure using TSD

Aim: To create column properties for different types of pedestal members and model in the grids created as per the assignment 1
Tools Required:
-> Levels
-> Manage Properties -> New -> Members -> Concrete Column.
-> Grids
-> Columns
-> Properties tab
Procedure:
• Firstly open the software and change the settings.

• Now open the grids files that you have already created for the assignment 1.
• Now click on the levels option which is present at the right side of the display and you will be directed to a new dialogue box where in you have to assign the levels accordently as show in the picture give below with its respective values, later cilck ok.

• Now select the manage properties option and again you will be directed to a new dialogue box where in you have to select and create a new member of concrete column naming it as PDF assign the values as per our requirement in the general tab.

• Now you can aslo edit the other values like the lenght and width also the shape of the column and many more.
• After all the settings are done click ok.

• Now you can see the grids file that is open on your project workspace now select on column that is present under the model tab.

• Now you can see that there are properties of the column displayed at the properties bar although you have modified the properties but its good to go for a check for you to feel everything is according to our requirement.

• Now according to the attachements plan we place the colunms in their respective places.

• Now you follw the same process by intoducing a new set of concrete columns as PD2.
Result:
Hence by following the above procedure I was able to create column properties for different types of pedestal members and model in the grids created as per the assignment.

• Now select the manage properties option and again you will be directed to a new dialogue box where in you have to select and create a new member of steel column naming it as C1 assign the values as per our requirement in the general tab such as section design to ISMB,allignment to centre etc.

• Now you can aslo edit the other values like the lenght and width also the shape of the column and many more.

• After all the settings are done click ok.
• Now you can see the grids file that is open on your project workspace now select on column that is present under the model tab.

• Now you can see that there are properties of the column displayed at the properties bar although you have modified the properties but its good to go for a check for you to feel everything is according to our requirement.

• Now according to the attachements plan we place the exact places where we placed the concrete columns.
• Now you follw the same process by intoducing a new set of steel columns as C2.
Result:
Hence by following the above procedure I was able to create column properties for steel columns and model columns in the grid created as per assignment 1.

Aim: To create beam properties and model primary and secondary beams on the ground floor.
Tools Required:
Manage Properties -> New -> Members -> Steel Column.
-> Grids
-> Columns
-> Properties Tab
-> model -> beams
Procedure:
• Now open the grids files that you have already created for the assignment 1.

• Now select the manage properties option and again you will be directed to a new dialogue box where in you have to select and create a new member of steel bars naming it as SB1 and SB2 assign the values as per our requirement in the general tab such as section design to ISMB, allignment to centre.

• Also specify the section as MB500 for SB1 and MB350 for SB2.

• Now under model tab select the beams tool.
• Now you can see that there are properties of the column displayed at the properties bar although you have modified the properties but its good to go for a check for you to feel everything is according to our requirement.

• Now click on the comulm position for the initial and final point to draw the beam.Also use the SB1 for the main beams and SB2 for the intermediate beams.

• Now to create intermediate grid lines between the grids we use the grid tool, so as to place the intermediate beams.

• Now by using the dimension tool mark the dimension of the grid lines.



Result:
Hence by following the above procedure I was able to create beam properties and model primary and secondary beams on the ground floor.
