All project types and sizes, even specialized projects

Tekla is the most accurate, integrated way to manage detailing, production, and erection.

Tekla Structures is powerful and flexible software for all types of projects. Speed up your work with an extensive library of standard connections for different types of projects. You can create a detailed, constructible 3D model of any steel structure from everyday industrial and commercial buildings to stadiums and high-rise buildings. Working with Tekla is the most accurate, integrated way to manage detailing, production, and erection.

PEB (Pre-engineered Building)

Collaborate and share design and detail data, material requirements, and project status from design to erection phase of metal buildings. Save time with specialized PEB tools and achieve a smooth workflow.

Find tools for metal buildings / PEB in Tekla Warehouse.

LMF (Light Metal Framing)

Tekla Structures is ideal for modeling light steel structures (aka light metal frame / light gauge steel / cold rolled steel/metal studs / modular). Design and plan all building elements within one model, ensuring that all the data is accurate, up-to-date, and easily accessible.

Miscellaneous steel

Create constructible models of miscellaneous metalwork such as stairs, ladders, handrails, and sheet metal work.

Aluminum curtain walling and facades

Using Tekla Structures for your facade elements or aluminum curtain walling helps to collaborate with architects, clients, and other project parties more easily. Detect possible collisions in a multi-material environment. Solve complicated connections issues, and plan logistics and erection sequences in a realistic constructible model.
Model or combine different types of projects into one model: all parts of the structure including not only steel and concrete but also a variety of facade elements, such as glazing, gaskets, fixings, and more.

Build your own adaptable components and tools using extensive and flexible Tekla Structures API.

Offshore

You can model even the largest structures. Everything in a project fits into a Tekla model: 4D visualizations, pipes, welds, and bolts. You can also use the model to get information about the weight of the structure and the position of the center of gravity, and the information also serves maintenance and eventual decommissioning. Interface with plant design software reference models to support accurate design. Benefit from the model throughout the structure lifecycle. Read more about Tekla for Offshore structures.
