  • D NUT BRACING OR CLEAT BRACING?

    D NUT BRACING
    D NUT INSTALLATION ON A RAFTER

    A lot of fabricators prefer D Nut bracing over cleat bracing because it is much simpler and cheaper. If the engineer has specified cleat bracing the detailer must investigate whether a D Nut bracing will be sufficient. If yes, then please RFI the engineer with D Nut bracing proposal. The fabricator could prefer this connection. Make sure the maximum angles of the D Nut is observed

  • Difficulties in getting in entry level engineering graduates

    Here are some of the difficulties we are finding in recruitment.

    1. Most applicants simply click the apply button and really does not read the job posting and the requirements for the job.
    2. Most applicants do not check the inbox for any responses to the applications they have sent. This is about 80% of all applicants.
    3. Out of the20% who read the responses and who actually respond, do not read the incoming email properly and do some random things. We have no option to progress with the application.
    4. Now from the balance, who actually read email and take follow up action, 90% are not suitable because of lack of basic high school mathematics and general aptitude knowledge.

    I am not sure whether all recruiters are facing the same problem. We surely are facing this issue

     

  • Modeling Cage Bolts

    There is no need to spend a lot of time trying to model bolt cage accurately if the drawings can be annotated to get the final accurate final intent

    Here I am showing an example of a bolt cage. There is not need to model the helix to avoid the clash. No one can make a lig with clash. Physically impossible. So no need to model avoiding clash. Let it clash. When the fabricator makes the lig he will do it without clash.

    Also,

    another point to note is that we need not model tight to the anchor rod. Let one side extend a little bit to avoid the radius riding into the anchor bolt. It will be easier for modeling and manufacturing. There is no compromise in the final intended outcome.

  • Search for term in Tekla Advanced options

    You might need to find a term from a large number of advanced options available in tekla structures software. This video shows how to find all the options where the term is present. In this video I want to find all the options where the work “Family” appears. I did not want to go and look at every line in the options. I could simply type in the work “Family” in the search bar and click search. Please watch the video. This could save you a lot of time
