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.

Tekla 2026 introduces a new set of updates across the Tekla portfolio, focused on improving workflows from design and detailing to fabrication and site execution.

This year’s release brings developments in AI-assisted tools, drawing and design efficiency, and connected project data across Tekla Structures, Tekla Structural Designer, Tekla Tedds, and 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!

Tekla Organizer is a powerful tool for managing and accessing model data—especially in large and complex projects. In this short video tutorial, we walk through how to use Organizer efficiently to filter, group, and report model information!

We’d like to say THANK YOU to everyone who joined us in Herning for the Industry Afternoon Workshop – Digital Workflows in Precast Concrete!

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.

Ensure your bolts are deliverable and your model data complete – directly inside Tekla Structures: The Pretec Modul Pluss Norway app connects Tekla Structures to Pretec’s bolt catalogue, allowing you to verify that the bolts used in your model exist in Pretec’s current product range.

Easier stair-landing detailing: The ‘IC Trapp Reposforbindelser’ (stair-landing connectors) from Invisible Connections is now available as a native Tekla component package. It streamlines modeling and documentation of stair-landing connections with accurate product data included from the start.

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!

A “user day” is nothing without its users—and this year’s Tekla User Day 2025 in Denmark is all about learning from the experts who put Tekla to the test on real projects! Meet the speakers!

In collaboration with Lemvigh-Müller, NCC and CN3, BuildingPoint Scandinavia invited professionals from across the construction industry to explore how 3D BIM can improve rebar detailing, fabrication, and project execution!

Tekla 2025 brings smarter workflows, better automation, and enhanced collaboration!

Registration for Tekla User Day Denmark 2025 is now open!

Join specialists from Trimble and BuildingPoint Scandinavia as well as other Tekla users for this full day (and evening) dedicated to tips and tricks, customer use cases and other inspiring presentations!

We’re looking forward to seeing you at Betongindustridagene 2025 (Concrete Industry Days)! This event is a key gathering for professionals in the concrete industry, and our team will be there with a stand showcasing must-have solutions proven through decades of use in our region!

The beginning of a new year is the ideal time to focus on professional development and skill-building in Tekla Structures, IDEA StatiCa or other tools you rely on! Whether you’re a new user or have been using the software for years, training is essential to getting the most out of your tools….

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!
