Tekla Structures software allows design teams to collaborate simultaneously with other project participants on the same, always up-to-date model in every stage of the building lifecycle. Different disciplines can share models, visualize how structures work together, perform clash checks, and create reports to address coordination items.
Tekla Structures can be used to integrate with industry software on a wide range of projects.
- Architects, building services designers, and structural engineers can collaborate using the Tekla Open API™ that supports the IFC format or by using standard formats such as xrefs, DWG, DGN or DXF.
See example on building service design and structural 
engineering collaboration to create the voids needed for HVAC.
- Plant/process designers and structural engineers can collaborate using SDNF, DGN, and CIS/2.
Models created with Tekla Structures can be viewed with an Internet browser for enhanced project collaboration.
