To get started with modeling in Tekla Structures:
-
Get to know the basic tools that you will need to work efficiently in all models, see Get to know Tekla Structures basic working methods.
-
Learn how to create and modify the basic objects and modeling aids, see Start to create model objects.
-
After creating some objects, you can change how they are shown, see Adjust how model objects are displayed.
When you are comfortable with the basic modeling tools:
-
Get familiar with the tools that help you check objects in the model and keep it in good shape, see Check the model.
-
Understand how you can control how the model is numbered, see Number the model.
To make your modeling efficient:
-
Understand what applications are and how you can add more capabilities to Tekla Structures, see Work with applications.
-
Get familiar with using components to quickly add connections, parts and details as explained in Work with system components.
-
You can also modify components or create new ones, see Custom components.
