Anyone considering Tekla for bridge modeling should consider Tekla Bridge Creator! How do you get started? Our friend Gabriel Neves who hosts the “Ministry of Bridges” channel on YouTube can help you get started with these free tutorials!

BuildingPoint is very excited to announce our new training course: Tekla Structures - Bridge Creator Training! This training class provides the knowledge needed to use the application Bridge Creator in Tekla Structures for modelling of bridge structures. We will give you a thorough and practical introduction to the basic functionality used in a typical model-based workflow. This includes all steps from model startup to model creation.

With the new Tekla configurations, it becomes easier to model buildable constructions, small and large, in relation to objects in Quadri.

The design of New Tana bridge was started back in 2013 and construction commenced in January 2016. It will be opened for traffic this year. It is the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, Statens Vegvesen, who are the builder as well as responsible for the design. The Directorate of Public Roads participates to gain further experience in the use of BIM and the latest digital tools available in the market.

Trimble introduced Tekla Bridge Creator today, a new extension for Tekla Structures Building Information Model (BIM) software that integrates the complete bridge design workflow from design geometry to constructible modeling and detailing.
