Dear yanburak,
If you want to buy them:
~6000 € Advance Steel Professional (Autocad not included in price)
~17000 € Tekla Structures Steel only
For static calculation a CSI product's like Etabs or Sap price start from ~3000€ and go up to 9000€.
If Tekla had no bugs it would be the best software around for drawing basic types of structures. But tekla has lot's of bugs, each version comes with many new options (many useless) and many new bugs. e.g. I had a model once in tekla v13.1, I had to dump the model and re import it, columns/beams were appearing/disappearing. The funny thing is that most bugs show up in the last day of detailing just before drawings are sent to plotter.
I think the main question is if you want to learn it or buy it.
