We delve into the overall design strategy and the benefits of using Staged Construction Analysis in Tekla Structural Designer. This section builds on knowledge from previous webinars and focuses on three main areas: the design envelope, wind and seismic drift checking, and reduced second-order effects.
We will then do a summary of key points from the previous webinars, showing how the software allows users to build models as usual with minimal additional steps to incorporate stage construction analysis, leading to more efficient designs, reduced second order effects, and simpler wind and seismic drift checking.
