Tekla Structures
Tekla Structures is a fully integrated 3D solution that enables the perfect creation and management of three-dimensional building models of any size, regardless of material or structural complexity. The Tekla Structures -solution covers the entire structural design process, from conceptual design to detailing, fabrication and erection.

The exceptionally smooth collaboration and information management applications are based on Tekla´s world leading solution for Structural Building Information Modeling, a subset of the commonly used concept Building Information Modeling (BIM). The same model can be utilized for producing analysis & design results, drawings and reports. Hence steel-, concrete- and structural design professionals can work with the same shared, always up-to-date model throughout every stage of a building project. Tekla Structures minimizes overlapping work phases and errors which translate into shorter project lead times, significant cost savings and better building quality - thus providing even more of a competitive future for the entire structural design industry.
