Define and modify regional codes and design codes
Tekla Structural Designer allows you to select from a range of international design codes of practice. Each new project initially adopts the codes that have been specified in the active settings set. However, you can also change the codes in the middle of a project.
Change design codes in an existing project
Warning:
If you change the regional code in an existing project, the following will occur in the model:
- Some materials, steel sections, design section orders, studs, decks and reinforcement may require re-selecting in the model to make them consistent with the new regional code/unit system.
- Wind loading (if any) and wall/roof panel properties will be deleted. The wind wizard will need rerunning, wall/roof panel properties need resetting and the wind loadcases will need recreating.
- Snow loading (if any) will be deleted. The snow wizard will need re-running.
- Seismic loading (if any) will be deleted. The seismic wizard will need re-running.
- All combinations will be deleted.
