I already have a complete steel structure modeled in Tekla and now need the same model reproduced in SAP2000 so I can run a fresh global analysis and member design there. Once the steel frame is fully validated, I also want the entire foundation system built and designed in either ETABS or SAFE—whichever you find more efficient for footings, slabs and tie beams. You will start from the native Tekla file (or IFC if you prefer) that I will provide, carry over every member, section size and connection point, and recreate the load cases and combinations so that reactions and deflections remain consistent. After the superstructure is confirmed, import those reactions into a new ETABS/SAFE model, apply realistic soil springs and complete the full foundation design. Deliverables • SAP2000 file mirroring the Tekla geometry, properties and load combinations, ready for analysis • Foundation model in ETABS or SAFE with all design checks completed • Concise calculation report outlining assumptions, governing code clauses (AISC, Eurocode or another mutually agreed standard), utilisation ratios and optimisation notes • All native files plus a PDF export of the report Acceptance criteria 1. Geometry and connectivity match the Tekla model within ±1 mm 2. Global deflections and reactions stay within 5 % of current Tekla outputs under identical load cases 3. Foundation design shows utilisation ≤ 1.0 for all elements under factored combinations I will supply the Tekla files and load schedule as soon as we begin. Let’s agree on the code to follow, the timeline and any other information you need to get started.

Hi, Hope you are doing well I can support you with rebuilding your Tekla steel structure in SAP2000 for independent global analysis, and then developing the foundation system in ETABS or SAFE based on extracted reactions. The workflow you described is clear: geometry replication, load case alignment, validation of deflections/reactions, and then transfer into a foundation model with soil spring behavior. I can ensure the SAP2000 model mirrors your Tekla file in terms of member layout, section properties, and connectivity so the analytical results remain consistent within your ±5% tolerance requirement. After that, I can proceed with the foundation modeling, including slabs, footings, tie beams, and full design checks per the agreed code (AISC / Eurocode or other). thanks. Maksim

Hi there! You are asking to recreate a Tekla steel model in SAP2000 and design foundations in ETABS or SAFE, and the real challenge is keeping geometry, connectivity and load paths consistent across platforms without drift in reactions. I recently supported a structural conversion where a steel frame was transferred from BIM to analysis model and calibrated so deflection and reaction variance stayed under 5 percent. That required careful section mapping and load case reconstruction. I will rebuild your model in SAP2000 directly from Tekla or IFC, verify analysis alignment, then develop the foundation system in ETABS or SAFE using correct soil spring modelling and code-based checks. Check our work: https://www.freelancer.com/u/ayesha86664 Which design code do you want finalised for superstructure and foundation checks, and do you already have soil spring values available? I am ready to start, just say the word. Best Regards, Ayesha

Hi, I understand you need to convert a complete steel structure from Tekla into SAP2000 for a new global analysis and member design, followed by developing a foundation model in ETABS or SAFE. The goal is to accurately replicate geometry, connectivity, and load cases to ensure consistent results, then design the foundation system with realistic soil interaction and full design checks under the selected code. I have extensive experience translating complex Tekla models into SAP2000 and SAFE, ensuring precise geometry alignment and consistent analytical behavior. My background includes structural design and finite element analysis for steel and concrete systems using AISC and Eurocode standards, with a focus on validation accuracy and optimization of member performance. I will deliver verified SAP2000 and foundation models, complete design checks, and a concise calculation report detailing all assumptions and governing code references. Warm regards, Juan
