Tekla Structures dominates for heavy industrial and infrastructural steel where parametric complexity is high, but fabrication teams doing conventional building frames will find it unnecessarily cumbersome. Engineering-focused detailers thrive after 3–6 months, whereas AutoCAD-native teams often resist the paradigm shift.
Adoption RiskExpected friction, training effort, and behavior change needed to move teams onto the alternative.
