What is Tekla?4:50
For those who do not know tekla I leave a video explaining in a very simple way that it is Tekla and what it can be used for.
How to download Tekla Structures7:38
In this video we will show another new software quite used in Europe and the United States dedicated mainly to the VDC, which I show how to download for free if you are a student or an academic. This is a structural modeling software specialized in generating elements of prefabrication and modeling construction processes such as placement of shoring, among other things.
Tekla minimum requirements and base template download5:40
With this video we begin our course, where we will indicate the basic requirements that Tekla needs to install it as well as the base templates that you can download.

Introduction on Interface of Tekla5:42
In this video we begin to show the basic tools contained in Tekla Structures so that we can understand a little more its basic operation.
Tekla Structures basic tools and commands7:25
Continuing with the course we will be showing the operation of the basic tools within Tekla to be able to start using it correctly.
Use of Snaps and Level of detail in Tekla5:59
Continuing with the course, it shows the basic snap functions and the graphic levels of detail within Tekla in order to start using it correctly.

Insertion of Reference Models7:10
Continuing with the course we will be showing how to insert models referenced in Tekla to be able to start using it correctly, in this case we will do it with a CAD that comes in the course files.
Grid generation in an example project in Tekla4:02
Continuing with the course we will be showing how to generate and modify grids in our example project within Tekla to start using it correctly.
Creation of Levels in Tekla2:50
Continuing with the course we will be showing how to create and modify levels within Tekla to be able to start using it correctly.

Isolated Footing generation part 015:55
Continuing with the course we will be showing how to generate different isolated footings sections within Tekla.
Isolated Footing generation part 022:58
Continuing with the course we will be showing the second part of shoe modeling within Tekla.
Creation of piles in Tekla3:12
Continuing with the course we will be showing how to generate batteries within Tekla applied to the example project.
Creation of strip footings in Foundation with Tekla2:41
Continuing with the course, it shows how to create the strip footing in Tekla in order to start using it correctly.
Creation of Slab and discount of materials in Tekla3:19
Continuing with the course shows the generation of slab and discount of materials within Tekla to be able to start using it correctly.
Creation of Structural Columns in Tekla3:10
Continuing with the course shows how to generate slabs and discount the material in intersecting nodes within Tekla in order to start using it correctly.
Creation of concrete beams in Tekla3:53
Continuing with the course, it shows how to generate concrete beams inside Tekla in order to start using it correctly.

Description

In this course, we will guide you step by step, starting with the most fundamental aspect: how to obtain the Tekla software for free when using it for academic purposes. We will show you the exact process of downloading the software and ensuring that you have access to all the necessary tools without incurring any costs. Additionally, we will explain how to download and set up templates that you can use in future projects, ensuring that you have access to standard profiles and configurations specific to your country. This will help you work within local guidelines and ensure that your projects are accurate and compliant with regional standards.

Furthermore, we will introduce you to Tekla from scratch, making sure that you get comfortable with the software even if you have no prior experience. Starting from the basics, you will learn how to navigate through the tool’s interface, understand its functionalities, and develop the confidence to explore its features. We will walk you through the essential aspects of Tekla, focusing on the basic modeling of structural elements, ensuring you have a solid foundation for future advanced work in structural design.

As an added benefit, we will also provide an introduction to the detailing process for reinforcing steel and metal connections, which is a critical aspect of structural design. You will get a preview of how Tekla handles these intricate details, allowing you to incorporate accurate reinforcement details and connections in your models. This additional knowledge will give you a taste of the advanced capabilities of the software, preparing you to explore these features further in your projects.

By the end of this course, you will not only be familiar with Tekla’s basic tools and functionalities, but you will also have the knowledge to confidently apply the software to real-world projects, with templates and profiles customized to your specific needs. You’ll be well on your way to mastering the essential skills needed for structural modeling and detailed design in Tekla, setting the stage for more advanced learning.
