Engineering 

Tekla Structures, Engineering is a standard configuration that enables synchronised engineering. Professionals in structural engineering and design can collaborate with other project participants and stakeholders using the same shared model.

The modelling function allows users to

• View Tekla Structures models (all materials and profiles)
• Create and modify grids
• Model parts and bolts (regardless of building material)
• Create welds
• Add loads to a model
• Create conceptual connections (no workshop output)
• Model conceptual reinforcements (no workshop output)
• Create automatic preset connections to multiple parts
• Create erection sequences
• View model information in 4D (simulated schedule)

The workflow functions allow users to

• Manage process information of individual building components
• Create your own breakdown structures (WBS) more easily and quickly easier and faster
• Manage clash checks better and faster than before

The output function allows users to

• Customise drawing title blocks and reports
• Create general arrangement drawings (plan, section, erection)
• Print and plot drawings and reports
• Create reports (assembly lists, part lists)

The collaboration properties allow users to

• Work simultaneously on the same model with several users
• Interface with other tools and disciplines
• View Tekla models with an Internet browser
• Exchange data (CIS/2 format, MIS systems)
• Import external/export data via links (FEM, SDNF, XML)
• Import and export data via IFC 2x2, 2x3 and Tekla Open API™
• Data exchange interface with Analysis and Design software
• Import and export graphic 2D and 3D data (DXF, DGN, DWG)
