Circular Platform Modeling and Grating Guide

The document outlines the procedure for modeling a circular platform using TEKLA, including steps for drawing, grating insertion, and ensuring proper measurements. It emphasizes the importance of using correct snapping points and checking dimensions against design drawings. Additionally, it provides guidance on grating plate thickness and the recommended method for arranging grating panels around the circle.

7- Circular Platform

1) Circular platform procedure:

 Modeling:
1- Draw curved member as polybeam with 3 points then change the middle point as below (not using curved
beam).

2- Use the DXF drawing to insert platforms in TEKLA model as snap below (checker should be checked DXF is to
scale 1:1 before insert file).

3- You can use radial grid from component catalog.

 Drawing:

When you create an arc radius, you have to be carefully to pick only nodes (square box snaps) select 3 points in
clockwise. (Checker should be checked the radius as in design drawing)

 Grating:
1- Insert grating as beam using two points as below.

Point 1

Point 2

2- From the intersection point of grating with outer diameter draw a construction line to the center of the
circle.

3- Cut the right side using line cut as shown.

Line cut parallel to


construction line

Inner and outer


boundaries of grating

4- Use polygon cut to remove part 1 and part 2 as below.

 Note: please take into consideration grating plate thickness while drawing inner and outer construction
circles, also grating plates around curve should be modeled as polybeam (not curved beam).

5- Draw grating plates (using 4 plates in circular platforms is recommended) and weld to grating
Measure the angle that will assure the exact spacing between grating panels and take into consideration grating
plates’ thicknesses and use copy rotate method to array the grating around the circle center point.
