What is Tekla Structures?!

• Tekla Structures is a software for construction and structural engineering, made by Trimble.
• Tekla Structures is an advanced BIM software for creating accurate constructible 3D structural models of any material
• The software enables users to create and manage 3D structural models in concrete or steel, and guides them through the process from concept to fabrication.
• With Tekla Structures, you can create accurate, information-rich 3D models that have all the structural data you need to build and maintain any type of structure.
• You can also import, export, and link your data with other software solutions, digital construction tools, and fabrication machinery for smoother workflows.
• You can use Tekla Structures throughout the project, from buildings and planning to fabrication, construction, and maintenance, for design, detailing and information management.
• Tekla models can deliver LOD 500-the highest level of development possible-making them truly constructible. High LOD, as-built models minimize costly surprises, RFI’s (requests for information), and result for more profitable projects.

 

Why To Use Tekla Structures?!

• Avoid detailing errors and minimize the need for rework in fabrication.
• Manage changes in a 3D model and save time.
• Avoid human errors: Drawings, reports, and CNC information are automatically generated from the model.
• Optimize the fabrication process with intelligent interfaces.
• Manage fabrication in real-time.
• Use the 3D model to plan fabrication and erection.
• Enhance communication and coordination with other departments and project parties using the 3D model.
• Accurate quantities and documentation.
• Update the model at any time.
• Prevent errors and waste on-site
• Use the model for asset management.
• Improve estimates and schedules.
• Automate quantity take offs and effectively manage information.
• Ensure constructability and solve issues early
• Improve planning and site productivity.
• Communicate through the model.
• Manage changes easily.
• Follow up progress, coordinate and manage teams effectively.
• Reduce waste and total cost.
• Avoid detailing and fabrication errors and minimize the need for rework.
• Link with production machinery, transfer information efficiently and avoid human errors.
•  Enhance communication and coordination using the model.

 

Prerequisites

• Basic knowledge and skills about using computers
