### Tekla (Detailing for Engineering Construction)

- Overall rating: 4/5
- Reviewer: Verified Reviewer
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Civil Engineering
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months
- Reviewed: March 2021
- Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered

Overall, it has been a great help with the job done and it is a great detailing tool with a lot of features that will surely be a great deal with the construction industry.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The best attribute of this software is that when doing a detailing of Precast or Concrete or Steel, the software itself has templates that will ease your job. For example, Austral Conct. and others have their own specifications rather than doing it one by one.

#### Cons

The least attribute would be it has to be learned every part of the software as it has many functions and specifications. In about 2-3months of continuous application before you can really say that you are familiar with the software.

#### Pros

I like using this software especially when I have to design a certain building. And as well as making computation of loads that I will have to apply. It's easy to use and convenient in presenting for meetings of what building or structure that you and your team were planning to build.

#### Cons

Maybe the least thing of this software was you have to be knowledgeable first in using this 3D software. If your not familiar or it is your first time using it, you'll encounter a lot of trial and error. and supervision is advice when using it as well.

A lot of benefits using this tool as it reduces the gaps between the team members and streamline the communication. It also helps reducing the conflicts.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 3/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

This is a tool which is used by the construction industry to collaborate and to merge 3D models, share information, and check for clashes. This is a powerful tool and yet very easy for the new users to learn the software and perform productive work. The best part of this tool is that one can use it on the mobile phones, tablets or smart devices which have the touch screen capability and the benefit of it that it can be used at the construction site to collaborate on the live project. Few of the features of this tool is like clash detection, rebar measurements, 3D navigation, create and share notes, save model views etc.

#### Cons

Nothing much as this tool has been a powerful tool for the construction experts including the project managers to collaborate with the stakeholders of the projects.

Draft the most accurate structural steel 3D model and get benefit of the reporting system.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 5/5

#### Pros

If you want to make the most accurate 3D BIM, especifically when it comes with steel structure, this is the best want to use. You can model all the details of a structural steel building not only in a 3D format, but a comprehensive report that can be utilized as bill of quantity for and valuable for making any purchase order.

#### Cons

Although the software has many advantages, but in order to make an accurate draft, you need to spend time on learning the software and its tricks.

Terrible. I ran out of space describing cons. I will never recommend this software to anyone. I called a CAD company by Toronto inquiring about solid steel parametrics with Solidworks and most of their customer base were Tekla Structures Users. ( I wonder why)

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

Bill of Material. Nothing else good to say.

#### Cons

Modeling. Modeling uses surfaces and not actual solids. You can't use the edge of profiles for reference - you need to go outside the objects when doing cuts other wise you get solid rebuild errors. I got burned on this because my .nc1 file for a beam was modelled cut at 45 degrees but the actual .nc1 file was out by 1.2 degrees over 12 inches. My assembly drawing showed everything correct but the .nc1 file based off the model was different from my drawing. You can only use horizontal and vertical dimensioning in plan view, not elevation (even if you change your elevation plane to x,y,). So you have to use measure which gives you 3 values and not 1. Limited sketch functions i.e. no offset functions. Object snaps are chaotic. I'll snap to a mid point but my cursor snaps to an end point that is off the screen. When you create a plane using 3 points, after created, you need to switch your plane from automatic to work plane. No automatic view along grid line update. If you change your grid labels, you need to delete the views along gridlines and recreate them. I got burned on this as well. No default views (view cube like AutoCAD, Inventor, or Solidworks.) You have to press ctrl + p twice to switch the view to plan and then while holding down ctrl and cycling on the directional arrows. The levels that show 3ft above and 3 ft below sometimes works so when I'm modeling at a specific height the entire model is showing. Components are chaotic.....

For the areas of the software that i have learned to use, it benefits me greatly. The time it takes to do the same work in a 2D software such as AutoCad is unbelievable. A simple beam/column setup or handrail for a set of stairs can be done in minutes rather than hours or days. Plus, the ability to export machine files such as NC1 and DXF has increased the speed of our shop.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5

#### Pros

The community items have impressed me the most. You don't have to custom model a lot of items due to the community has usually already done it and uploaded it for your usse.

#### Cons

Like any software, there is a learning curve. This one seems to be a larger curve than most. There are a lot of aspects to this software and multiple layers that have to be gone through to be able to understand how a single item operates.

#### Pros

Being able to make a 3d model, then turn it into 2d fabrication drawings. makes communication through prints easy

#### Cons

CUSTOMER SUPPORT IS AWFUL. you wont get a response within the same day. They take forever. 99% of the time I have to start from scratch or try to figure it out on my own. If a drawing is about to be erased because of a change in the 3d model, there should be a prompt that asks you if you want to proceed...

#### Reasons for choosing Tekla Structures

Solid works/ edge wasn't as applicable for my field.

#### Reasons for switching to Tekla Structures

To try. support isn't responsive enough. probably going back.

Holders of "permanent" licenses now have to pay more in maintenance than new subscribers. That is terrible treatment of existing user base. New releases get tools/components/scroolbar changed and not for the better. Warehouse is a good idea, but too much is unusable or specialized.

The analysis is difficult to control to follow normal structural engineering concepts. It is used as more of a black box. As a result, quite a lot of time is spent manipulating inputs to achieve the desired result.

My overall experience with concrete contractors is great considering I am on one of my best friends growing up as father has owned a concrete plan for about 1520 years now and myAnd my best friend is the vice president of our company so I’ve learned a lot and I’ve also had lots of experience and mainly good experience with concrete contractors

#### Pros

This is really a great software when it comes down to building your layout to do the concrete work especially for all the measurements and the smaller details but normally it’s pretty difficult to just write down on a piece of paper to present to the customer. This app allows you to do that digitally which is a very good selling point when you go to show the customer a nice clean digital layout of their new concrete sidewalk or patio that this software put together

#### Cons

The one thing I did not like about this software sometimes it gets the inches And cubic meters mixed up on the same layout so you got to keep an eye out for that but overall this software is a great great product and it has gotten me many many jobs and luckily to this day I have a side job of concrete that I do which is very successful
