Ignore forces below

Note: Values entered in the Ignorable Forces Below section:

are considered when designing steel and cast-in-place concrete members in Tekla Structural Designer
are not considered when designing timber or precast members via Tekla Tedds


Setting	Description
Ignore Forces Below	Allow you to specify appropriate negligible or nominal force levels to prevent 3D analysis from exposing small forces that are normally ignored in design. When the small forces in the 3D analysis are below the specified levels, they are ignored and the design in Tekla Structural Designerproceeds automatically.

Concrete beams (Eurocode only)


Setting	Description
Torsion force % of concrete resistance	Allows you to limit the maximum torsion force to a % of the concrete resistance.

Note: Values entered in the Minimum Design Forces section:

are considered when creating member end force reports/drawings and foundation reaction reports/drawings in Tekla Structural Designer
are considered when performing connection resistance checks in Tekla Structural Designer
are considered when designing connections in Tekla Connection Designer, or IDEA StatiCa
are not considered when designing steel and cast-in-place concrete members in Tekla Structural Designer
are not considered when designing timber or precast members via Tekla Tedds

These settings provide flexibility to control minimum design values and rounding increments used in the following:

Member end force reports/drawings
Foundation reaction reports/drawings
Connection resistance checks
Export of connection forces to another application for design (Tekla Connection Designer or IDEA StatiCa)
