Tekla Structures News
Why Tekla Structures
Tekla Structures, which evolved from ‘Xsteel’, is now a module-based solution that can include intelligent 3D modeling, steel / concrete detailing, and analysis and design - all on the same model. Whether you are a detailer, fabricator, or engineer you can choose only the components you wish... and all components work together with total synergy.
While this single-model technology of Tekla Structures is breaking new ground in how modeling is currently and will be done in the future, the Steel Detailing component by itself is also making waves…
What Customers Say
“I cannot thank you enough for the persistence you had shown me on the advantages of purchasing Tekla Structures (Xsteel). I am (for now) a one person detailing company and was nervous about the cost of the software investment. My other holdback was the fact that I had worked on AutoCAD for 16 years and wasn’t quite sure about the learning curve of Tekla Structures (Xsteel). Well, I am pleased to say I paid for the software cost in the first two months after returning from training. To date, I have produced steel shop drawings an average of one-third the time over using AutoCAD… I can honestly say that since using Tekla Structures (Xsteel) I have not had one call from a fab shop or erection company concerning an error on the drawings.”
Todd M. Cahalan
Fineline Inc.
“We have been using your Tekla Structures (Xsteel) program for a year and a half now and we are extremely pleased with the results. Our drawings are more accurate, which makes it easier for shop fabrication. We have noticed that fewer errors are accruing throughout all stages of the project. We are able to put our steel through the shop at a faster pace, which gives us a better time schedule for site erection. We have also noticed that with this program significant errors are omitted on site and erection time is being reduced by 2/3rd, this is mainly because they are not having to cut or torch as much in the field… A good example of this is the U of R Student Residence in Regina… The allotted time in the field for each site erection was 14-17 days for each tower; they were able to erect the first tower in 3 ˝ days. The second tower is scheduled to go up Aug. 5 if you wish to go on the web site and view the erection of the building live…”

“The number one thing that brings in the work is my ability to get the job done quickly. Tekla Structures is a wonderful tool and I look forward to each new update to make my job easier and faster. I couldn’t be where I am without it!”
