This comprehensive two day course will teach you how to model, For engineers who want to

analyse and design steel and concrete buildings effectively using understand the fundamentals of
Tekla Structural Designer. Referencing your existing knowledge, you analysis and design within Tekla
will gain a full understanding of how to model with physical Structural Designer
objects and undertake gravity and lateral design. In addition you will
grasp the many useful shortcuts that our experts use daily.

On completing the course, you will have the knowledge and Knowledge of engineering
confidence required to model, analyse and design, in steel and
concrete, using Tekla Structural Designer.
