Steel Fundamentals Certification

This course is part of the ‘Tekla Structures Steel Fundamentals’ learning path, which is an interactive certification involving firstly the completion of the 'Steel Fundamentals' course - a self-paced eLearning course that contains 40 lessons - followed by completion of this course. In order to pass this course, and attain the overall 'Steel Fundamentals Certification', learners must successfully complete a modelling exam. Through the completion of this certification, this learner has demonstrated their understanding of: - The Tekla Structures user interface - how to open Tekla Structures and Tekla Structures models, use the ribbon, navigate in the model, create views, and use clip planes - How to start a Tekla Structures project and how to set up project-specific information. - How to model the basic steel structure of a building, including steel columns, beams, rafters and bracing - How to use system components in Tekla Structures, including base plates and connections. - What custom components are and how to create and modify custom components. - How to detect and fix clashes in Tekla Structures - What numbering means, and how to plan the numbering of a project - How drawings work in Tekla Structures - how drawings and the model interact with each other, how drawing types and drawing levels work and how to use the master drawing catalog, create drawings and edit drawings manually. - Reports and how to create different kinds of reports including bolt list, material list, assembly list and a report based on part phases. - How to share a model for collaboration purposes using Trimble Connect - NC files and how to create these in DSTV format It is expected to have taken this learner approximately 8 hours to follow all tutorials in the 'Steel Fundamentals' course, with a further 2 hours invested in this modelling assignment to complete this certification.
