Tekla Structures — BIM Structural Modeling With Advanced Intelligence and Integrated Fabrication
Maximize productivity, reduce errors, and automate fabrication processes with the most comprehensive platform for structural engineering, detailing, and manufacturing.
Trimble's Tekla Structures is the industry-leading BIM solution for structural engineers, steel detailers, concrete detailers, and fabricators working on projects of any scale and material — from steel and reinforced concrete to precast and timber. It delivers unmatched model accuracy, fabrication-level detailing, and direct CNC output that bridges the gap between design office and production floor.
What's New
- Smart Create (AI-Powered) — Automatically selects the optimal fabrication drawing model based on component type, reducing manual decision-making and speeding up detailing.
- Numbering Preview — Preview part and assembly numbering changes before applying them, preventing errors in fabrication documentation and shop drawing output.
- Tekla PowerFab Connector — Seamless integration between structural detailing and industrial manufacturing management for streamlined steel fabrication workflows.
- STEP & IGES Export — Generate precision files with true curvature data for CNC machines, including beam lines, plate processors, and robotic welding cells.
- Real-Time Collaboration (Beta) — Live model sharing between multiple users for concurrent editing and coordination on the same structural model.
- Point Cloud & Layout Manager Improvements — Enhanced field-to-office integration for as-built verification, layout positioning, and construction quality control.
Key Features
- Constructible BIM Modeling — Create highly detailed, information-rich 3D structural models with every bolt, weld, rebar, embed, and connection modeled to fabrication-level accuracy.
- Steel Detailing & Shop Drawings — Automatically generate fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, single-part drawings, and erection plans with dimensions, weld symbols, and part marks.
- Concrete & Rebar Detailing — Model cast-in-place reinforcement, precast elements, and post-tensioned systems with bar bending schedules, pour sequences, and formwork drawings.
- Precast Concrete Design — Complete tools for precast element detailing including hollow-core slabs, wall panels, beams, and columns with embedded connection hardware.
- CNC & Fabrication Output — Export NC/DSTV files for automated steel fabrication — drilling, cutting, marking, and bending — directly from the structural model.
- Multi-Material Support — Model steel, concrete, timber, and composite structures in a single coordinated environment.
- Clash Detection & Coordination — Built-in interference checking plus IFC export for multi-discipline coordination with architectural and MEP models.
- Quantity Takeoff & Reporting — Extract accurate material quantities, weights, surface areas, and custom reports for procurement, estimation, and project management.
- Open BIM & IFC Interoperability — Import and export IFC models for collaboration with Revit, Archicad, and other BIM platforms in open, vendor-neutral workflows.
