Tekla Structures for steel, metal construction, plant engineering

Tekla Structures is a particularly powerful 3D CAD software for steel, metal and plant construction, Tekla Structures is widely used internationally and enables users worldwide to effectively create and manage geometrically highly accurate structures, regardless of the material, size or complexity of the structure.

Tekla Structures models are suitable for handling the entire construction process, from design to fabrication, erection and construction management. This speeds up the process and eliminates errors. Similarly, Tekla Structures supports Building Information Modeling (BIM) and promotes collaboration in project management and execution.

Tekla Structures supports the entire information management process. Tekla Structures software integrates with MIS systems and works with CNC machines, among others. Tekla Structures enables the design of highly complex, data-enriched 3D and 4D building models and clearly differentiates itself from current document-based platforms.

Tekla Structures is available in different configurations (steel and reinforced concrete) and localized environments. These provide specialized functionality to meet the respective segment-specific needs of the construction industry.

Easily model and quickly modify 3D models

• design and edit models - regardless of size, complexity and material
• automatic, dialog-driven connections (foot, end, face plates, bracing, ribs, haunches, brackets, tabs, angles, etc.)
• extensive catalogs of intelligent objects (bolts; national and international parametric profiles)
• automated components for creating complex details and partial structures such as stairs and railings
• automatic creation of views, drawings, parts lists and NC data
• supports simultaneous work of several planners on one and the same model (multi-user)
• supports project communication, collaboration (BIM) and construction management
• powerful modeling functions for cast-in-place and precast concrete construction incl. reinforcement (version-dependent)
• various functions for visualization and presentation of 3D models as well as quantity/cost calculation
• collision check of the models
• works independently of other CAD installations

Excellent interoperability and compatibility

• globally compatible and localized for borderless collaboration
• supports enterprise standards
• supports all standard data formats, such as IFC, CIS/2, SDNF and DSTV, as well as DWG, DXF and DGN
• particularly versatile data exchange with e.g. structural analysis (Dlubal, Scia etc.), MIS, manufacturing and plant engineering systems (PDS, PDMS...)
• easy change of country localization (28 environments) or language (15)
• collaboration with client, with other trades and with erection team through Tekla BIMsight, 3D PDF, web models, etc.
• implementation/interfacing and extension possible via Open API™(Microsoft® .NET technology).
• strategic partnerships with companies such as Nemetschek, Graphisoft, Scia and Dlubal.
