Tekla Structures software provides an efficient way of working especially in time-critical and information-rich projects, regardless of building material. Structural engineers can build a data-rich, constructable 3D model and leverage it downstream in construction, creating added value for each design process.
Tekla Structures can be used to
- Quickly create models with several design options
- Integrate with analysis and design software to optimise structural systems
- Coordinate with the architectural/plant design models to prevent project collisions
- Create design drawings and reports of material quantities
Leveraging of conceptual connections
There is a comprehensive library of detailed connections available in Tekla Structures to create conceptual connections. Users can add conceptual connections or details to typical joints, whether structural steel, precast concrete, or cast-in-place.
Tekla Structures leverages the model downstream so that detailers can visualise initial connections in 3D.
- Create a complete building model with conceptual connections to check against possible plant design inconsistencies during the conceptual design phase
- Coordinate the structure with the architectural design exposing desired structural elements
- Show conceptual connections as drawing sections and details, resulting in faster construction drawings creation
