Nowadays lots of peoples are confused between this two software. Actually, TRIMPLE produces some software named TEKLA. In TEKLA they are designed two popular software called TSD and Tekla Structures. TSD is a structural analysis and design software. So you can perform these functionality’s using g this software. Tekla Structures is basically structural detailing and building information modelling software. So the detailing of the building can be done by using Tekla structures also BIM (Building Information Modelling) can be done by using TEKLA Structures. TSD we can design the model but can’t do the detailing part. In TSD we can calculate accurate concrete quantity, reinforcement steel quantity with an allowance of 10 percent.
In Tekla Structures what it does is after design it provides an accurate quantity of RCC as well as reinforcement steel quantity. In TSD we cant calculate the formwork quantity but in Tekla Structures We can calculate it. TSD can’t do the construction management and planning so your new construction planning and management mean scheduling of different activities so that your construction process are plan smooth and everything works according to your plan. This thing we can do in Tekla Structures which is an added bonus of this software. Tekla Structure is most advanced BIM software to create combine and mange3d model packed with real construction information. You can use Tekla structure in the project from planning to fabrication and from construction to maintenance and information management. TSD helps engineers to win more works and maximum profit. The comparison between TSD and other software TSD will provide alternative design schemes throung to cost-effective change management and BIM collaboration.
