Steel Structure Detailing by Tekla Structure (Recorded)

Course Outline

Basic Modeling 1

This lesson introduces the basic modeling functions of Tekla Structures. You will learn how to:

 start a new structural 3D model
 create grids
 create views
 create concrete and steel parts
 use CAD principles like absolute and relative reference points
 use polar tracking
 manipulate members within the model (copy, move, mirror)

System Components
This lesson introduces the basics of creating connections in Tekla Structures. You will learn how to:

 create connections
 work with connection parameters
 save the parameters for later use
 clash check the model

Basic Modeling 2

In this lesson, we will recap the basic functions introduced in lesson 1, and you will learn some more about the basic functions. You will learn how to:

 adjust member attributes
 use coordinate locks
 input construction points
 work in true planes (sloped, skewed)
 define select filters
 work with phases
 set up job-specific information

Interactive Detailing

This lesson introduces how to interactively create unique or customized connections between parts. You will learn how to:

 explode system connections and modify connection objects (parts, bolts, cuts)
 add system components to previously exploded connections
 create unique connection objects interactively
 define and apply custom components

Numbering and Reports

This lesson covers how to handle part marking within Tekla Structures. You will learn:

 numbering basics
 how to customize the numbering system
 numbering in phases
 how to create reports

Principles of Drawings

This lesson introduces the basics of how to create and handle drawings in Tekla Structures. You will learn:

 the integration between the drawings and the model
 the drawing types available in Tekla Structures
 the basics of the drawing list
 the various levels of editing drawings

Assembly and Single Part Drawings

The next step is to learn how to create fabrication drawings for the items that were created in the model. You will learn:

 how to create individual drawings
 how to use selection filters to create groups of drawings of members with similar
 attributes
 how to create drawings automatically using the Master Drawing Catalog
 editing drawings manually
 handling drawing after changes are made to the model

Multi-Drawings and Multi-Numbering

This lesson introduces multi-drawings and explains the principles of multi-numbering. You will learn how to:
 create multi-drawings
 collect multiple assemblies or single-part drawings to one multi-drawing sheet
 apply multi-numbering to multi-drawings
 update and modify multi-drawings

General Arrangement Drawings

This lesson covers how to create erection plans, details, and section views. You will learn how to:

 create anchor bolt plans
 create erection plans of individual views
 create general arrangements of multiple views on one sheet
 modify drawings properties
 modify view properties
 modify object properties
 create drawing objects

Drawing Management

This lesson covers more advanced aspects of handling drawings. You will learn how to:

 control revisions
 edit drawings more effectively using classifiers and cloning
 customize drawing borders by adding logos
 make and use basic drawing templates
 plot drawings
 export drawings in other file formats
 share your model electronically
