Validate the model for design issues
If required, you can manually validate the model for design issues before the model is submitted for design in order to trap errors that will cause the design to fail.
Note: For a list of validation issues and
how to resolve them, refer to this support article.
Run design validation
Note: As design validation is performed automatically as part of all the combined
analysis and design processes, there is no requirement to run design validation
manually beforehand in those cases. You might however elect to run the
validation manually when performing selective member and wall checking or
design.
Note: Design validation cannot be
performed if model validation is outdated.
On the Design tab, click 
Validate.
Validate.
Tekla Structural Designer performs the design validation checks. If your model contains any design validation issues, warning messages appear in the Status tab of the Project Workspace.
Adjust the conditions considered in design validation
-
On the Home tab, click
Model Settings.
- Go to the Validation page.
- Select the conditions that you want Tekla Structural Designer to consider during validation checks.
- Click OK.
