TEKLA STRUCTURES IN THE TRAINING OF STUDENTS OF BUILDING SPECIALTIES

Information modeling is an effective technology for managing the life cycle of a construction project. Creating a physical three-dimensional model is the initial stage of information modeling, the value of the quality and reliability of the physical model cannot be overestimated. The article provides a rationale for the possibility of structural modeling in Tekla Structures. The software allows you to solve the whole range of design tasks. For reusable structures, custom components can be created, the degree of parameterization of which depends only on the qualifications and desires of the designer and the objectives of the project. Tekla Structures system serves as an effective design tool: it is also able to give students of building specialties a visual representation of the designs of various types. The 3D model of the building structure is equivalent to the layout, it is quite obvious, its complexity may vary depending on the stage of training (course) and the tasks solved in the educational process. The work on introducing BIM into the educational process has great potential and is capable of raising the quality of education of students and their competitiveness in the labor market to a level that meets modern requirements not only in the Republic of Belarus, but also beyond its borders.
