Introduction to Tekla Structures in BIM Software.
Tekla Structures provides a fully integrated 3D solid structural model, along with comprehensive tools for structural analysis, detailed 3D steel structure design, reinforced concrete design, project management, automatic shop drawing generation, and automatic creation of BOM tables. The 3D model contains all necessary information required for design, manufacturing, and construction. All drawings and reports are seamlessly linked to the model, ensuring consistent and reliable output files.
Compared to traditional design file systems, Tekla Structures offers greater efficiency and improved results, enabling designers to produce more accurate designs in less time.
Tekla Structures effectively manages the entire structural design process and enhances design information sharing through its collaborative 3D interface. It is an ideal solution for consulting engineers, project designers, detailers, and project managers alike.
Tekla is a professional software development company specializing in steel structure design, drafting, and manufacturing. Tekla Structures – Steel Detailing CAD (formerly known as Xsteel CAD) is their dedicated 3D steel structure solid modeling software. It stands as the only professional 3D steel structure software successfully launched in Taiwan. Companies in Taiwan that have adopted the Tekla Structures – Steel Detailing system report strong reputations and positive user experiences. The software allows rapid deployment, enhances design competitiveness, and reduces client concerns related to import risks, making it a reliable choice for customers.
Tekla Corporation leverages Tekla Structures to integrate structural analysis, reinforced concrete design drawings, and project management into a single platform. It is the world’s first complete 3D solution that combines structural analysis, detailed design, shop drawing production, and project management.
Tekla Structures is owned by TEKLA21, a company established and launched in 1966.
