Create loadcases

When you create a new model, Tekla Structural Designer automatically creates a loadcase whose type is Self weight - excluding slabs. You cannot access the loadcase because Tekla Structural Designer automatically calculates the loads within it using the objects in your structure. Tekla Structural Designer also creates three other loadcases that are initially empty. However, you will almost certainly need to create other loadcases that contain the loads that your building must withstand.

  1. On the Load tab, click Loadcases.

    The Loading dialog box opens on the Loadcases page. On this page, you can see all currently existing loadcases.

  2. Click Add.
  3. In Loadcase Title, name the loadcase.
  4. In Type, select the desired loadcase type.
  5. Select whether the loadcase is included when you automatically generate load combinations.
  6. Click OK.

    Tekla Structural Designer adds the new loadcase to the list of loadcases in the Loading list.
