Tekla Structures is an advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) software developed by Trimble, widely used for the detailed modeling, analysis, and management of structural systems. It enables the creation of highly accurate and constructible 3D models for all types of structures made from steel, concrete, timber, or composite materials.
Tekla Structures is especially renowned for its ability to handle large and complex projects with precision, from conceptual design through detailing, fabrication, and construction. The software supports collaboration across teams and disciplines by integrating seamlessly with other design, analysis, and fabrication tools.
Constructible Modeling: Create fully detailed and fabrication-ready 3D models with accurate bolts, welds, reinforcements, embeds, and connections.
Steel & Concrete Detailing: Automated shop drawings, bar bending schedules, rebar detailing, and precast modeling tools.
Clash Detection & Coordination: Identify and resolve conflicts between elements before construction begins.
Customization: Supports scripting, APIs, and custom component creation for advanced workflows.
Drawing Automation: Generate GA drawings, assembly drawings, and fabrication documentation directly from the model.
Open BIM Support: IFC compatibility and integration with other platforms like Revit, SAP2000, ETABS, and Staad Pro.
Construction Management: Supports model-based planning, scheduling (4D), and quantity take-offs (5D).
