Run a staged construction analysis

Typically, staged construction analysis is performed as part of the Design All process, however a facility is provided to also allow you to run the staged construction analysis on its own without also performing the design.

Before you can run any type staged construction analysis you must have defined a combination of class "Staged Construction".

Run a 1st order staged construction analysis

On the Analyze ribbon, in the Staged Construction Analysis group click 1st Order Linear.

Tekla Structural Designer analyzes the model.

At the end of the analysis process the Results View and the Results tab open to allow you review the analysis results graphically.

Run a 1st order non-linear staged construction analysis

  1. On the Analyze ribbon, click Settings.

    The Analysis Settings dialog box opens.

  2. In the dialog box, go to the 1st Order Non-Linear page.
  3. If necessary, adjust the convergence criteria and relaxation factors.
  4. Click OK.
  5. On the Analyze ribbon, in the Staged Construction Analysis group click 1st Order Non-linear.

    Tekla Structural Designer analyzes the model.

    At the end of the analysis process the Results View and the Results tab open to allow you review the analysis results graphically.

Run a 2nd order staged construction analysis

On the Analyze ribbon, in the Staged Construction Analysis group click 2nd Order Linear.

Tekla Structural Designer analyzes the model.

At the end of the analysis process the Results View and the Results tab open to allow you review the analysis results graphically.

Run a 2nd order non-linear staged construction analysis

  1. On the Analyze ribbon, click Settings.

    The Analysis Settings dialog box opens.

  2. In the dialog box, go to the 2nd Order Non-linear page.
  3. If necessary, adjust the convergence criteria and relaxation factors.
