Tekla’s load analysis functionality allows you to assign loads (dead, live, wind, snow, seismic) to the physical model, which are then automatically transferred to the analysis model. After an external solver runs the calculations, results (deflections, forces, moments) are imported back into Tekla for visualization and clash checking.
Before diving into the software specifics, it is crucial to define the discipline. Load analysis is the process of determining the forces, moments, shears, and stresses that a structure must withstand. It is the foundation of structural safety. tekla structures load analysis
In the modern world of structural engineering, the gap between 3D modeling and numerical analysis is shrinking. Gone are the days when a engineer would model a structure in one piece of software, export it as an IFC or CIS/2 file, and then spend hours repairing geometry in a separate Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tool.
