Importance of Tekla in Structural Steel Detailing


The strength of a building is the greatest asset because it ensures the safety and longevity of life. In that case, the major emphasis would be on thorough structural analysis and structural steel detailing where the first priority is to look for cracks and deflection within the building. Hence for all the task of strengthing of a building, Structural Steel Detailing is the key element. One of the best tools to execute Structural Steel Detailing is Tekla Software. Though it's prime role is counted in Building Information Modeling but very useful for structural drafters and detailers as it allows them to design building structure and its element by using 3D modeling, access building information and 2D Drawing.



Usually, the commencement of Steel Detailing goes like assigning the project to the contractor and further advances to a detailer who rigorously work on 2D drawings. This is a fair instance that right from the initial stage of a project, the execution takes a longer time than the actually needed time which leads to awful results in the form of terrible coordination amongst stakeholder. Likewise, there are many events in steel detailing that never produce the satisfactory result. In this scenario, an advanced tool such as Tekla is needed to develop steel fabrication drawings. The main advantage of employing Tekla software is that you will start detailing after the designing phase based on fabrication drawings which made it easy to form a coordination between structure and steel and strengthen the construction quality.





Advantages of Tekla in Structural Steel Detailing

  • Right Project Schedule: Due to automatic synchronization of Tekla, all the files and drawings are well managed and synchronized. In case if you made any changes in the model, it will automatically update in your fabrication drawing which saves the time for tedious manual changing.
  • Minimizing site troubles: Tekla software enables to view and monitor a model simultaneously, right at the site through Tekla BIM sight viewer for better accuracy and understanding.
  • Reward with Affordability: You can use the Tekla model to choose the alternatives in few seconds that too at a cost-effective price. Tekla enables the user for estimation of steel as well as with automated generation of Bill of materials. It will save labor as well as the material cost.
  • Streamlined Process: Tekla allows the contractors to assign elements as per facilitated members contrary to the daunting task that eats up most of the part. One can also install fabricated parts in Tekla model with the facility of editing and modification.

Tekla has created a stir in the field of Structural Steel Detailing due to its enhanced and improved construction documentation. By utilizing Tekla, the process of structural steel detailing will see the real replication that enables to have entire control of the project.
