The Concept:  Intelligent 3D models contain a wide range of information beneficial to structural design projects.  These 3D models have the capacity to obtain large numbers of data and then condense that information into user-friendly solutions accessed via powerful visualization and reporting tools.  We believe the best modeling software should serve as a common platform for all structural design phases from conceptual design to fabrication.  This solid platform should also provide an easy information management interface.  With Tekla Structures, information is drawn from one source, and is available through one shared model - allowing you to better manage all project phases.

Centralized project data:   All members of your project team can now enjoy the advantage of real-time 3D model sharing.  Tekla Structures allows you to track and view the status of your project. 
You can plan future actions, assign tasks, follow project progress and send/receive requests.  The intelligent model stores numerous sources of information and then connects the design process to the corresponding project process.

Tekla Structures is the ideal tool to address the needs of project managers, project designers and consulting engineers.

4D tools:  Tekla Structures lets you instantly view the model to see which pieces have been approved, which pieces have been issued against approval and which pieces have been fabricated, shipped or erected.  The data can then be presented as textual reports and drawings, and in 3D colour view.  Schedule data can be animated so that problem areas are easily spotted.

Project history:  Tekla Structures keeps track of all changes to your model.  You can call up revised drawings for future production tasks or track changes caused by certain layout modification and then link those changes to project costs.  There is no need to manually store information onto separate documents.  Everything is customizable to fit individual needs.

Task management:   No more delays from FAX-based communication.  You will have the tools to collaborate with your colleagues or partners while utilizing the same model.  You can assign tasks to other stakeholders, attach RFIs to model objects as well as hold discussions with other users.
