Tekla Structural Designer Professional Course

Open Tekla structure designer, create a new file, change the design code from India to the United Kingdom, and set the unit system to metric.

Set up construction levels in Tekla by defining plan and slab surface levels, then insert and name first and second floor levels and verify spacings.

Explore the grid information data for the project, detailing x and y coordinates and meter-spaced positions, including center and side arrangements across both sides.

Set up grids in Tekla Structural Designer by creating rectangular grids across all levels, defining origin at 0,0, choosing directions, and configuring spacing and alphanumeric naming.

Identify a beam extending outside its region in Tekla Structural Designer, select the beam, adjust points, and use keyboard and mouse commands to model and view the corrected 3D model.

Learn to copy beam layouts in Tekla Structural Designer, selecting beams only, rotating them, and using a reference point with x and y inputs to duplicate to the next story.

Extend beams to create overhangs in Tekla structural designer by selecting the beam, activating the extension tool, and snapping to target points; learn to copy segments and fill gaps.

Explore the difference between one-way and two-way slabs by analyzing the longer-to-shorter span ratio, load distribution along the longer or shorter side, and how this guides modeling in AutoCAD.

Model one-way and two-way slabs by selecting the slab, open slab general, and set the load direction along the longer side.

apply loads to story two by selecting beams, external walls, partitions, and slabs; adjust the load pattern and strength, then verify the application via color changes.

Learn to apply area, line, and live loads in Tekla structural designer, assign exterior wall and roof loads, adjust values, and verify loads via the load pattern view.

Solve a beam-column intersection problem in a Tekla model by deleting a column, validating the model, and ensuring safety while assessing beam behavior.

This lecture addresses a member intersection problem and shows how to fix it by selecting the correct members and re-modeling beams from the proper points to the center.

Resolve member collision issues in Tekla by selecting affected beams, extending lengths with the blue dot, and verifying each region in the structural model.

Learn to solve slab modeling issues in Tekla structural designer by selecting and extending slab regions, ensuring the slab is surrounded by load-carrying beams, and validating the model before analysis.

Learn to fix a slab surrounded by non carrying members by selecting the correct slab option and drawing a beam path to provide support, ensuring proper modeling in Tekla.

Rectify the decomposition problem, analyze static results, and design concrete members in glass structure designer, resolving warnings and unknowns while guiding students toward clear modeling.

Learn how to check the report for a member in Tekla Structural Designer, using right-click to open the report for a member and export it.

Open the column schedule, select all columns, and view bars, type, quantity, length, and units; then switch to the beams schedule on story 2 for beam details.

Check concrete column and beam details in Tekla Structural Designer, set the levels, review the column and beam placements, and examine the material quantities generated by the software.

Learn to view detailing for beams and columns in Tekla Structural Designer by right-clicking a member, selecting detailed drawing, and examining AutoCAD detailing, quality, quantities, and member information.

Validate and analyze the slab model, run the slab design, and review reinforcement details and member reports to understand design limitations and concrete slab requirements.

Learn to model isolated footings in Tekla Structural Designer, using auto design to set footing depth and size, adjust foundation, reinforcement, and soil parameters, and visualize model outcomes.

Design a footing in Tekla structural designer: run the design command, view completed results, and see automatic size and footprint decisions driven by higher column loads.

Explore foundation details, generate and export material reports, and use the foundation layout tool to draw, view reinforcements and footing dimensions, then save designs for future use.
