Tekla Structures software provides detailers with powerful and flexible tools to build a detailed 3D model that can be used to automatically generate accurate shop and erection drawings and reports.
Tekla model-sharing capabilities allow multiple detailers 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 build and share a model, finish or check drawings or manage drawing production status.
Accurate and intelligent detailing
Detailing in a 3D environment using Tekla Structures ensures error-free collaboration during the fabrication and erection phases. The detailed Tekla model represents the 'as-built' condition of the structure – if the structure fits on screen, then it will fit on site as well.
There is a comprehensive library of intelligent components available in Tekla Structures. Components range from end plates, clip angles, and tube braces to handrails and staircases which automatically adapt to the applied location. Users can easily model and store company-specific settings for future projects.
User can also easily build company-specific parametric objects and custom components by simply modeling them without any programming involved.
Automatic output
All required drawings and reports can be automatically generated from the accurately detailed 3D model. Drawings are associated to the model, so any changes made to the model automatically reflect in the output.
Easy change management
|
Tekla Structures intelligently manages modification made to the structure. Ongoing revisions to the model and drawings no longer result in costly errors or delays in time schedules.
- All related components react to a change and are automatically updated
- Automatic clash checking efficiently exposes possible conflicts
- Drawings stay up-to-date

Collaboration with other disciplines
Tekla Structures allows multiple detailers to work simultaneously on the same model. The software can be used to integrate with other existing systems through industry standards. Examples of standard formats supported by Tekla Structures are IFC, CIS/2, SDNF and DSTV. Examples of proprietary formats supported by Tekla Structures are DWG, DXF and DGN. Models created with Tekla Structures can be published on the web for enhanced project collaboration.
