Explore Tekla structures, a leading building information modeling software for steel and other materials, to model, manage, and export accurate 3D models with beams, columns, foundations, and connections.
Explore a steel structure project through modeling steps, design philosophies, and section types, detailing American and European steel shapes, material specs, and connections using Tekla Structures shop drawings.
Define units and grids in Tekla structures, set meters as the project units, and construct grid lines and spans for a new model.
Set up grids and units in Tekla structures, then draw concrete foundations with concrete cover, center points, and material properties for steel structure projects.
Learn to draw foundation rebar reinforcement in Tekla using two methods, selecting the foundation, defining the rebar shape, adjusting cover, spacing, and bending, and applying primary and secondary rebars.
Draw steel columns in Tekla Structures, set the profile and material, position at the foundation intersection, adjust height and rotation, and generate the final structural sheet.
Draw the foundation-to-column connection in Tekla Structures, using components from the catalog to set dimensions, edit properties, and prepare shop drawings.
Explore how to annotate a Tekla shop drawing with foundation and column connection notes, adjust ground clearance below the base, and modify nut diameters and profiles for the connection.
Copy foundations and columns in Tekla structures by selecting structural elements, setting an origin, and using copy special linear to replicate across multiple positions.
Create rafters in Tekla Structures by drawing beams from one point to another, adjusting beam properties, establishing beam-to-beam and beam-to-column connections, and copying beams to additional locations.
Describe how to model frame connections in Tekla Structures, drawing column–beam and beam–beam connections in a 3d view, adjusting plate thickness, bolts, and spacing while noting analysis is outside Tekla.
Draw the side rails in Tekla Structure, establish a manual connection between rails and beams, adjust center of rotation, set dimensions, apply bolts, and replicate the connection across the model.
Model beams on the top of columns, set beam options, adjust profiles and dimensions, and copy beams to the opposite side.
Learn to draw top beam-to-column connections in Tekla structures by applying a predefined connection, selecting main and secondary parts, and adjusting bolts, spacing, and edge clearances.
Learn to draw purlins on top of a Tekla steel structure model by placing and aligning beams, adjusting rotation to -13.5 degrees, and creating connections with bolts.
Learn to model purlins in Tekla structures by drawing, copying, and mirroring connections, creating axes, and aligning to the grid, using three-dimensional copy operations to complete the roof framing.
Model wind columns in Tekla, adjust column heights, align columns to the wind direction, and create a baseplate, foundation, beams, and connections to complete the shop drawings.
Learn to draw bracing in Tekla structures shop drawings, connecting circular tubes to beams and columns with welds, adjusting intersections, and using copy and mirror to place bracing.
Learn to model a truss in Tekla Structures, adjust frame and connections, apply a rectangular section, copy views, and lay out steel beams from point to point for shop drawings.
Model the concrete slab for the Angara structure in Tekla structures and place reinforcement. Adjust spacing to 12.5, create two reinforcement layers, and copy the bars to the bottom.
Generate drawings for Tekla structures shop drawings for steel structures. Explore how to create these drawings efficiently within Tekla structures.
Tekla structures is a building information modeling software able to model structures that incorporate different kinds of building materials, including steel, concrete, timber, and glass.
Tekla structures the most advanced structural BIM software, lets you create, combine, manage and share multi-material 3D models packed with valuable construction information.
With Tekla structures you can create accurate information-rich 3D models that have all the structural data you need to build and maintain any type of structure.
You can also import, export and link your data with other software solutions, digital construction tools and fabrication machinery for smoother workflow.
In this course we will do a practice by modeling a steel structure on Tekla the modeling will include all the steel structural elements (beams, columns, rails, purlins, frame, bracing, truss, concrete slab, foundations and connections)
Also we will show in this course how we can export the drawings from Tekla structures software to other software
The project that will worked on is a steel hangar structure with length 75m and width 25m
In this course we will show the different standard steel sections I Section (HP, M, S, W); C-Shape; Angle Sections; and Pipes sections we will show how we can model and using these different structural steel sections how you define them and design
The dimensions and properties for structural sections commonly used in steel building structure design and construction are given in this course in addition to all design consideration and proper material availability and specification according the AISC code.
