-
What is Precast Concrete construction?
Precast Concrete construction is a cost-effective method of erecting buildings on the job site using factory-made components like columns, beams, and walls, which are transported to the site via trucks and erected with cranes.
-
What is Structural Steel construction?
Structural Steel construction is conceptually similar to Precast Concrete construction but uses steel components like columns and beams instead of Precast Concrete components.
- What is Tekla?
-
What is Tekla Structures software?
Tekla Structures is the most advanced structural BIM software. It lets you create, combine, manage, and share multi-material 3D models packed with valuable construction information. You can use Tekla Structures throughout the project, from buildings and infrastructure conceptual planning to fabrication, construction and maintenance, for design, detailing and information management.
-
What is Tekla Structural Designer software?
Tekla Structural Designer is an integrated design & analysis software regardless of structural material. It supports Indian, Eurocodes, US, and Australian codes and British Standards. One single model will cover all your structural analysis and design requirements, encompassing both gravity and lateral systems.
-
What is Tekla Tedds software?
Tekla Tedds is a structural analysis software which reduces repetitive hand calculations and offers dependable multi-material element design. Example: Wind loading (EN1991)
-
Will Tekla be used in place of AutoCAD in the future?
The construction industry has progressed from hand drafting to 2D Computer Aided Drafting (CAD). Today, 3D Building Information Modeling (BIM) is being adopted more and more because of its ease of use, speed, and clash detection capabilities. More than 50% of projects in the US have shifted to Tekla and other BIM software. 2D CAD will not go away completely, but being skilled in Tekla will make young professionals industry-ready.
-
Which Tekla courses do you offer? What are the course contents?
Trimble Tekla has different software under its umbrella for different use cases. As of now, PPS Centre of Excellence offers training in Precast Concrete, Structural Steel,and Rebar in Tekla Structures software. The course content can be viewed on course pages linked above.
-
What is the difference between Precast Concrete and Structural Steel Tekla training?
Tekla Structures is a powerful and versatile BIM software which allows you to create Precast Concrete as well as Structural Steel 3D models. Although the modeling features for both materials are similar, the implementation is so different that people build careers by specialising in one of them. We have tailored basic and advanced Tekla training for both keeping this in mind.
-
Which Tekla course should I opt for?
Either Tekla course is a significant upgrade in your skillset because Tekla Precast Concrete and Steel are used throughout the world. With Steel prices going up, Precast Concrete as a material has been gaining popularity in recent years. However, which course you want to pursue is a matter of personal choice and interest.
