Construsoft Nordics now delivers Trimble SketchUp as part of our software portfolio. SketchUp is a very practical tool for contractors, engineers, project managers and site teams working in classic construction projects.

The new Drammen City Bridge presents slim, clean lines and a welcoming expression for pedestrians and drivers alike. Behind the surface, however, lies curved and twisting geometry, congested reinforcement, and late design changes added to an already demanding design. From an early phase, the team at Degree of Freedom chose a fully parametric approach to make it all come together.

Many steel fabricators experience disconnected workflows and want a more connected experience where engineering, supply chain and production work together with a digital model at the center. Igor Guerra, which has more than 14 years of experience in the industry and first hand knowledge of the struggles, walks through some possibilities with Tekla Powerfab.

To simplify the modeling and ordering process for standard welding plates, we’ve developed a custom Tekla component specifically for Nordic Fastening Group’s SPS and SPK plate types. The component is now available for download via the Tekla Warehouse!

Meeting the demands of modern structural engineering means tighter timelines, more complex geometries, and higher expectations for transparency. KI Consulting Engineers meet them with the right tools and a mindset that turns into method!

With version 25.1 IDEA StatiCa 25.1 have matured into a comprehensive, practical toolkit to design, analyze, and verify every part of a steel-to-concrete connection within a single environment, with full control over anchor types, stand-off conditions, and code compliance.

The "Steel Days" 2025 events are just around the corner in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. These national events are key gatherings for structural engineers, steel detailers, and professionals involved in steel construction.

Nordic Fastening Group (NFG) now offers a plugin (developed by BuildingPoint Scandinavia) for their customers to helps engineers model bracing rod systems directly in Tekla Structures—accurately, efficiently, and with built-in product data!

In the video above and in this article we explain the benefits of using plugins and custom compoents, and demonstrate exactly HOW you use NFG’s plugin!

Our IDEA StatiCa Support team regularly get questions from engineers that have run into the classic issues that most users encounter sooner or later. In our Tips & Tricks video, Fredrik Andresen covers a series of common problems and how to solve them efficiently!

When performing a global analysis of a steel structure, engineers typically assume connections are either fully rigid or pinned. While this simplifies the analysis, real-world connections often exhibit some flexibility. By accurately determining the stiffness of a joint using IDEA StatiCa’s Stiffness Analysis capabilities, engineers can optimize their designs for weight, utilization, and cost!

Are you ready to take your anchoring and footing designs to the next level? In this recorded webinar we dive deep into the latest advancements in IDEA StatiCa version 24.1, a very powerful tool for accurate, conservative, and verified design of complex steel-to-concrete connections.

Struggling with IFC models that don’t meet the strict BIM requirements from clients like Statsbygg? You’re not alone! Creating and managing IFC files that align with these expectations can be a significant challenge for engineers, particularly when working with evolving standards…. Learn how to fix this!

The offshore engineering and fabrication industry faces challenges but also opportunities, both technologically and in the marketplace. In this article, based on a conversation with Mikkel Erichsen, Rune Johannesen, and Kjetil Kile, we explore how AS NYMO navigates these challenges, builds on its strengths, and prepares for the future!

In this webinar by Trimble and HGG, the team discuss best practices for modeling tube and beam connections in Tekla Structures, specifically designed for fabrication!

The "Steel Days" events are just around the corner in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. These national events are key gatherings for structural engineers, steel detailers, and professionals involved in steel construction.
