I have validated the model but it is showing "?", saying validation has not yet been performed. Why?

Tekla Structural Designer
Not version-specific

Question Mark
Not Performed
Environment
Not environment-specific

This is to be expected.

You will need to click on the + symbol to the left of the ? mark in order to expand the validation branch of the tree. (Clicking the - symbol contracts the branch).

You will see that there are three types of validation
  1. Model, (which is undertaken when you press the validation button) and then
  2. Analysis, and
  3. Design

 

2 and 3 are only undertaken when you perform an analysis and design process.

If we perform a design, (which performs both an analysis and design), then you will see that you will obtain ticks or crosses against the analysis and design that have been undertaken. As you will appreciate you will still obtain some question marks, since not all analysis types are applicable and have been undertaken as part of the analysis and design process.
