Mastering ASCE 7-22 Tornado Loads and Wind Wizard in Tekla Structural Designer

In this Tech Talk webinar we dive into ASCE 7-22 Tornado Loads & Wind Wizard in Tekla Structural Designer.

ASCE 7-22 introduces major updates to lateral load design—most notably, required provisions for tornado wind loads. Join us for a practical, technical walkthrough on how to streamline compliance using Tekla Structural Designer (TSD). We will demonstrate how to model, analyze, and optimize typical braced steel structures under ASCE 7-22 tornado loading using TSD’s automated Wind Wizard.

What You’ll Learn:
- ASCE 7-22 Code Provisions: Key updates to tornado velocity pressures, risk categories, and directional load application.
- Automated Load Generation: How to configure the Wind Wizard to automatically calculate and apply tornado pressures to the MWFRS.
- Structural Analysis: Evaluating frame response, drift, and member utilization under tornado load cases.
- Workflow Optimization: Moving efficiently from load application to final member design and validation reports.
