You can run FE chasedown and grillage chasedown analyses by using the Analyze All (Static) command. The analyses are also run when they are required as a part of the combined analysis and design process.

FE chasedown and grillage chasedown analyses are run for load cases only, and not for load combinations.

In a combined analysis and design process, Tekla Structural Designer performs the previously mentioned analyses as follows:
  • If the model contains two-way slabs or the user has selected the appropriate option in the Design Settings dialog box, Tekla Structural Designer performs FE chasedown analysis.
