Tekla for Steel Detailing
Working with Tekla is the most accurate and integrated way to manage detailing, fabrication and erection of all steel structures. And you can win more tenders with sales models.
Tekla software lets you bring new efficiency to steel production workflow. With Tekla’s structural steel detailing software, you can make your detailing process more efficient and flexible. The intelligent, accurate Tekla models contain information for generating drawings and reports, which stay up to date throughout changes.
Model data can be then transferred directly from model to fabrication and project management, enabling increased productivity with higher automation. As Tekla Structures is powerful and flexible structural steel detailing software, you can create a detailed, constructable 3D model of any steel structure from offshore platform to Olympic stadium to transmission tower.
Tekla Precast Concrete Detailing
With the information in Tekla software precast concrete fabricators can produce and deliver all types of elements at the right time to the right place in the most efficient way.
For those who work with precast the software offers boost to the entire workflow from bidding to delivery. 3D visualizations and presenting alternative solutions help precast fabricators win more successful and profitable bids.
You can detail all kinds of structures, manage fabrication, plan erection and find potential problems early before fabrication. Tekla software integrates precast design and detailing with manufacturing and project management: the software interfaces with production management systems (ERP) and automation machinery.
To enhance communication, precast concrete, rebar and steel fabricators can communicate with contractors and coordinate their production with site operations with Tekla BIMsight. Everyone stays informed.

Accuracy in Every Phase
Rebar Detailing and Reinforced Concrete Construction
Working with Tekla software is a smarter, more efficient way to do rebar detailing and fabrication. Improved design communication, coordination and information transfer enables faster rebar assembly and more productive construction of reinforced concrete structures.
The most powerful, yet straightforward, 3D modeling environment automates repetitive rebar detailing and documentation tasks. With intuitive management tools the construction-quality information is always easily at hand for reporting and material handling.
You can automatically export data to rebar MES software and cut-and-bend and mesh welding systems. Easy to understand rebar assembly guides with 3D visualizations reduce RFIs, improve quality and make prefabrication and rebar placing on site more efficient.
Tekla for Offshore
Achieve Efficiency in Offshore Structures Design! Save time and money with faster offshore structures design and detailing, accurate drawings, avoiding clashes on assembly and automation.
With Tekla software, you can boost productivity through shorter modeling times in offshore structures design and higher automation of fabrication. You can interface the model to machinery and project management. Your Tekla models represent the true, detailed, as-built offshore structure.
The software handles all structures, even the largest ones. Everything in an offshore project fits into a Tekla model: 4D visualization, pipes, welds and bolts, weight of the structure and the position of the center of gravity, sustainability and eventual decommissioning.
Tekla lets you identify and correct possible conflicts with the process equipment, cables and access routes. Fixing conflicts already in the design phase saves time and resources in the construction phase.
Transforming the Construction of North Sea Oil Platforms
Norwegian offshore constructor Aibel has put Tekla software at the heart of its work designing and manufacturing oil platforms. Aibel’s ongoing project for the massive Johan Sverdrup field is a story that moves from the tropical shipyards of Thailand to the stormy waters of the North Sea - paving the way for Aibel’s future projects beyond oil & gas…
NYMO - Adapting Offshore Engineering and Fabrication for the Future
With shifting customer demands and an increasing need for digitalization, companies must adapt quickly to remain competitive.
In this article, based on a conversation with Mikkel Erichsen, Rune Johannesen, and Kjetil Kile, we explore how Nymo navigates these challenges, builds on its strengths, and prepares for the future!
Tekla Structures for bridges!
Bridge Creator is an new extension for Tekla Structures.
This tool reads the alignment in LandXML format that can be created by any road or rail design software or by selecting any Tekla construction line.
Tekla Model Sharing
Share the workload. Build and use the model together.
Tekla Model Sharing is a truly innovative BIM team work tool that can significantly increase productivity of Tekla Structures users. It accelerates work within the whole production chain; not only when modeling but also throughout the production and erection process. It is a win-win for all project parties involved.
With Tekla Model Sharing you can
Invite others to work with you on your models
Join someone else’s shared models
Share changes in models
Tekla Model Sharing allows each user to have a local version of the BIM model on their computer or on a network drive. The model data is shared and synchronized through a secure Microsoft Azure cloud sharing service. You only share the changes, not the entire model. Because you need to be connected to the internet only when sharing, Tekla Model Sharing enables offline work.
