The University of Auckland’s Trimble Technology Lab (TTL) proudly hosted an introductory software training in December 2023, focusing on advanced structural engineering tools. The training, led by BuildingPoint NZ’s Theo Zentgraf, covered Tekla Structures, Tekla Tedds, and Tekla Structural Designer. Approximately one dozen postgraduate students attended the training; they were primarily enrolled in the Masters of Engineering in Construction Management or Civil Engineering PhD programmes.

Thanks to the TTL gift, the students gained hands-on experience with these powerful software solutions, enhancing their skills in structural analysis, design, and documentation. The training aimed to equip the next generation of engineers with the tools and knowledge necessary to excel in the rapidly evolving field of structural engineering.
