  • 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 assemblies of steel parts
  • Create levels of assembly hierarchy
  • Create detailed steel connections
  • Create automatic preset connections to multiple parts
  • Create erection sequences
  • View model information in 4D (simulated schedule)
  • Mark/number parts automatically

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

  • Customize drawing title blocks and reports
  • Create general arrangement drawings (plan, section, erection)
  • Create single part and assembly drawings
  • 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)
  • Export CNC, DSTV
  • Import external/export data via links (FEM, SDNF, XML)
  • Import and export data via IFC 2x2, 2x3 and Tekla Open API
  • Interface with Analysis and Design software for data exchange
  • Import and export graphic 2D and 3D data (DXF, DGN, DWG)

Tekla Structures Primary has all functionalities of the full configuration but is limited to 2500 parts excluding bolts and 5000 reinforcement bars or bar groups.
