Specialized training and exchange on steel structures

In the steel structure industry, the collaboration between technology and business departments is crucial for development. To break down inter-departmental barriers and deepen integration, the company organized a technical training and exchange activity, focusing on design knowledge, software skills and problem discussion. It not only disseminates knowledge, but also promotes ideological collisions, ushering in a new chapter of collaboration.

Solidify the Foundation

At the initial stage of the training, colleagues from the technical department explained the core of steel structure design in a simple and in-depth manner: from the material characteristics of steel such as high strength and light weight, to the application of principles such as structural mechanics balance and stress analysis, enabling business colleagues to quickly understand the performance advantages and application logic of steel structure buildings.

At the same time, colleagues from the technical department elaborated on core standards such as the "Code for Design of Steel Structures", and explained the guarantee role of the standards for design safety and reliability through cases. Business colleagues listened carefully and asked questions actively, creating a strong on-site learning atmosphere.

The technical department also shared experience in the entire design process, from the initial scheme conception, mid-term structural calculation and drawing, to the later construction coordination. Combining past projects, it analyzed key points and problem-solving solutions, helping business colleagues clarify the logic of the entire design chain.

Software Empowerment

In the digital era, design software is a core support. The technical department specifically explained the functions and application skills of three core software: PKPM, CAD and Tekla, helping business colleagues grasp the logic of design tools.

PKPM focuses on overall structural analysis and calculation, which can quickly complete internal force, displacement and stability analysis, providing a scientific basis for component selection. Through practical operation, business colleagues have mastered key steps such as model establishment and parameter setting, and experienced its advantages of high efficiency and accuracy.

CAD is a basic drawing tool that can accurately draw plans, elevations, node details, etc., support 3D modeling conversion, and facilitate the expression of design intentions and construction implementation. Business colleagues started with basic commands, mastered skills such as drawing and dimensioning, and can independently complete simple drawing preparation.

Tekla is good at detailed design. 1:1 3D solid modeling can cover all-dimensional information of components, support collision detection, processing drawing and bill of materials generation, and greatly improve construction efficiency. Business colleagues actively learned and practiced, and initially mastered the methods of model creation and drawing generation.

Jointly Solve Problems

During the discussion, both sides put forward insights from their respective perspectives. For example, in a commercial complex project, the business department proposed requirements for space flexibility based on market demand. The technical department accordingly provided a large-span portal steel frame (with H-shaped steel as the leading component) scheme. After demonstration, the optimal scheme with both functionality and economy was determined, achieving precise matching between market demand and technical feasibility.

Faced with problems such as excessive structural torsion in high-rise projects, the technical department accurately analyzed the root causes, and the business department supplemented ideas in combination with project positioning. Finally, the problem was successfully solved through measures such as optimizing component layout and enhancing structural stiffness, fully demonstrating the collaborative value. This exchange made communication between the two departments smoother and cooperation more tacit, and also laid a solid foundation for the promotion of subsequent projects.

In the future, the company will continue to promote the integration of technology and business, update the knowledge system through regular training, and keep up with industry trends. We will work together to create more high-quality steel structure projects and contribute to the development of the industry.
