1. INTRODUCTION

Tekla structures is a structure data displaying

programming ready to make model designs that integrate
various types of building materials, including steel,
cement, wood and glass. This product is utilized to make
and oversee 3D primary models in cement and steel with
dealing with the interaction from idea to creation. It
contends in the BIM (Building Information Modelling)
market with AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, D profiler and
advanced project, Lucas Bridge, Priced and others. Tekla
structures is known to help enormous sort of models with
various synchronous clients. This product utilized broadly
for the steel plan of capital entryway (Abu Dabi) and UAE.
Tekla won many honours for its substantial and steel
projects. North American BIM Award for substantial task
is one of them which is hydroelectric venture that has
seen steel, concrete, and rebar completely point by point
utilizing Tekla structures.

1.1 Overview

Tekla technology creates new opportunities for the

disciplines in the construction industry. Tekla
structures is the first intelligent 3D BIM (Building

rich 3D environment. Essentially, the Tekla model
contains all the information required from
conceptual designs, detailing, and manufacturing to
construction of project in a single Environment.
With Tekla software, your constructible designs
will promote error-free fabrication and successful
construction. Tekla models can deliver LOD 500 +
highest level of development possible making
models which make them truly constructible.

1.2 Future scope

These days numerous underlying steel structures

are coming in India. One of the best examples for
steel structures is Rajiv Gandhi international
airport, a Hyderabad and for these structures Tekla
is the top one option. Tekla is powerful structural
BIM (Building Information Modeling) software for
better future project. In the present market in India
Tekla is useful as designing multistoried building
structures and it does have its usage selectively.
Tekla adopted the truly constructible BIM process
and welcome a new age of reliable project
information and Deliver the best work in less time.
In present modern scenario Tekla becoming the
most adopted and favorite software for steel
detailing and fabrication by many other
construction companies.

1.3 Objectives

2.2 Arranging grid according to plan creating view.

You can show matrices and network line marks in single-

part, cast unit, gathering, and general game plan drawings.
You can set programmed lattice properties and
furthermore physically adjust properties in an open
drawing. Drawings might incorporate a few perspectives.
Notwithstanding the perspectives Tekla Structures makes
naturally founded on your determination at drawing
creation.

At the point when you make a support, Tekla Structures
consequently appends the support to the part for which
you are making the support. If necessary, you can
connect a support to a substantial part additionally
physically. The connected supporting bars follow the part
or cast unit when it is moved, replicated, or erased. Shaft
support (63) makes support for a cement footer. Select the
cement footer. The support is made consequently when
you select the shaft. Bars made in Tekla. Section
Reinforcement Tool makes support to unpredictably
formed substantial pieces.

3. CONCLUSIONS Engineering Management ,volume 8

Tekla structures is a vast product that covers the entire

structural designs process in a single environment. It
enables a single BIM model to be used from the conceptual
stages right through to fabrication and beyond its ability
to reuse data through design, analysis and detailing
phases and model in steel, concrete and timber is
somewhat unique in the industry. In terms of modeling
this software is extremely powerful. This software does an
excellent job of bridging the gap between design and
fabrication and through its single environment provides
the perfect conduit for data to flow smoothly from
engineer to detailer. Most importantly, through it has been
potential to simplify the management of an often-
fragmented process, leading to enhanced collaboration,
better designs, reduce times, and of course the lower cost.
