Tekla Structures, developed by Trimble, is one of the most advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) software solutions for structural engineering, detailing, and construction. It enables engineers, fabricators, and contractors to create accurate 3D models of steel, concrete, and timber structures with a high level of detail.
Unlike traditional CAD tools, Tekla focuses on constructible models, meaning that every element can be modeled with exact dimensions, materials, and connections, ensuring that the design can be directly used for fabrication, construction, and project management.
Tekla is widely adopted in industries such as civil engineering, industrial plants, high-rise buildings, bridges, offshore structures, and infrastructure projects, making it a powerful tool for modern construction workflows.
Industry-standard BIM tool for structural engineering and construction projects.
Improves accuracy, productivity, and coordination in complex structural designs.
Opens career opportunities in steel detailing, rebar modeling, fabrication, and construction management.
Provides practical skills for real-world projects where constructible models are essential.
3D Structural Modeling – Design and model steel, concrete, and composite structures with precision.
Detailing & Connections – Create accurate detailing of reinforcement, steel connections, and joints.
