To plan a structural layout and to create grids using TSD
1.
AIM: Summarize the user interface in TSD with the for the following items: -
- Project Workspace – How to access and usage
- Scene Content – Demonstrate the use of scene content
- Create two scene views
- Loading drop list- How to access
- Properties windows – how to access and usage
SOLUTION:
- 1.project workspace is the interface where you get to work on your file or projects.
- Open Tekla structural ->click on new
- The new opened space is called the projects workspace.
- It has useful features as model-> to model new structure components,Analyse ,design etc.
- 2.Scene content
- As you open a new project you can go to windows->scene content
- or at the right most of the screen you can access the scene content
- it is used to enable or disable the visibility of objects,dimensions colours etc.
- Uncheck the boxes which you don't wanna see on the screen.
- 3.Create two scene views
- on opening the new file tekla automatically makes 2 views of the file
- 2D and 3D view
- to show the 2 views perspective I have drawn a grid line to show both type of view.
//2D view
//3D view- 4.Loading drop list-how to access.
- drop list are seen on the panel on the left side of the screen
- On the botton side click on the loading section->loading list wil open
- Now click on the+ icon to drop the lists

AIM: With reference to the input drawing as per Attachment 1, 1.1, and 1.2 and study the steel building plan and summarize your understanding of the plan. Based on your study assume and explain the location of columns and beam and develop a hand sketch for each plan.
SOLUTION:
- Based on our studies columns are not to be placed at the openings i.e. doors,windows etc.
- columns should not be placed on the property lines.
- centre to centre distance between columns shouldd not be too much.
- columns are to be placed at the intersection of the beam and walls.
- columns to be placed in such a way that it doesn't foreshadow the aesthetic of the interiors.
- GROUND FLOOR
- FIRST FLOOR
- ELEVATION:
- The lines in green are the beams
- the blue lines are the columns

- The base level to be 500mm below ground level.
PROCEDURE:
- Open Tekla structural->click on new file->Project workspace will open
- Go to model tab->construction levels
- a new tab will open->here input the levels you want
- Enter the height levels as per the Attachment files 2,2.1
- Now after creating the levels ->click on OK
- Now go to the structure panel->select any base floor level
- Go to model tab->grid lines->create the grids according to the floor plan
- RESULT:
