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-situ.
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
