Create loading objects

The following Tekla Structural Designer features for applying loads, and for modeling industrial structures are covered here:

Roof panels and wall panels - these allow you to apply panel loads, simple wind loads and loads calculated by the Wind Wizard to your structure. Roof panels can also be used to model diaphragms.
Ancillaries - these enable the quick and efficient application of loading from ancillary items such as ladders, stairs and pipework etc - that are not part of the main structural frame.
Equipment - these enable the quick and efficient application of loading from plant items, tanks & cylinders etc. - that are not part of the main structural frame.
Inactive members - these are particularly useful for industrial structures, as frequently not all the secondary beams are included in the analysis and design model, but they are still required to distribute load in the structure and act as restraints to supporting members.
