Tekla structures 17 basic training manual

At the lower left corner of the dialog box, Tekla Structures suggests the name New Model for the model. The full path of the model folder is shown in this field. Accept the default option of Tekla Structures to Create default view and grid. Click the OK button to create the new model. The menus and icons become activated and the model name appears in the title bar of the Tekla Structures window. Every model must have a unique name. Tekla Structures does not allow duplicate model names.

You can only have one model open at a time. If you already have a model open, Tekla Structures prompts you to save that model. As we had the Create default view and grid checkbox selected, Tekla Structures automatically created a grid and a view according to the saved standard view properties. The default 3D view and grid are shown below. Tekla Structures indicates the work area of a view using green, dashed lines.

Remember to save your model every now and then, and always when opening another model or exiting Tekla Structures. Tekla Structures includes also an auto save feature that backs up and saves your work automatically at set intervals. In this training manual we will mainly use the pop-up menu to activate commands. A pop-up menu appears when you click the right mouse button right-click. If you have an object selected, the commands on the pop-up menu relate to that object.

Alternatively you can modify the existing grid. Modify the To modify the existing grid: existing grid 1. Double click the grid line. Complete the appearing Grid dialog box as shown below by filling in the X, Y and Z coordinates and the labels for the grid lines.

Click Modify to apply the new grid values. The file GRID1. Fit work area To fit the work area according to the modified grid: 1. Click the view. Right-click and select Fit work area from the pop-up menu. The view should now look as shown below: 1. A view is a representation of a model from a specific location. Each view is displayed in its own window inside the Tekla Structures window.

Each view has a view plane on which the grids are visible and points are represented as yellow crosses. Points outside the view plane appear as red dots. Create grid views To create views along grid lines, 1.

Select one grid line. Click the Show… button of the XY view plane to open the View properties dialog box. Change the Angle and View depth values as shown below and click OK to close the dialog box. Select the number of views as All and click Create in the Creation of views along grid lines dialog box.

The Views dialog box appears presenting all the created views. All invisible named views are listed on the left, and all visible views on the right. Click the Open named view list icon to open the Views dialog box which is now already open.

Select the view s you want to display or hide. Use the arrows to move view s from left to right visible or vice versa invisible. Nine is the maximum number of open views.

You can open or close named views by clicking the Open named view list icon. Delete unnecessary views from the view list. Rotate the model You can rotate the model in a 3D view with rendered view type.

Press the key V. The training is divided into lessons, each of which focuses on a certain feature of the program and provides in-depth instructions geared at helping users master each feature.
