The most advanced BIM software for structural workflow
DESIGN
Visualize your concept by creating a constructible 3D building structure.
DETAIL
Easily create all structures with full details and automatic clash checking.
FABRICATE
Drawings, reports, and CNC data can be automatically created from your 3D model.
INFORMATION-RICH 3D MODELS
Tekla Structures lets you create accurate, information-rich 3D models that have all the structural data you need to build and maintain any type of structure. Tekla models can deliver LOD 500 – the highest level of development possible – making them truly constructible.
Import, export, and link your data with other software solutions, digital construction tools, and fabrication machinery for smoother workflows. Also, the as-built models cut back on costly surprises and requests for information (RFIs), making projects more profitable.
Tekla Structures is localized to fit your local construction industry standards. This 3D BIM software for construction is available in 17 languages and has 32 environments that include predefined region-specific settings and information. To make sure you will have a smooth start, we offer local support and training too.

Educational institutions
The transition from education to work is often both a challenge and a prospect for a young graduate. To ease this step, Tekla offers educational institutions an affordable educational license program. The program provides students with a firm foundation on Tekla software and Building Information Modeling (BIM).
Tekla Structures 2024
Enjoy an easy and self-guided experience with enhancements introduced in Tekla Structures 2024.
The upgraded user experience for working with drawings – as well as the updates to the detailing to fabrication workflows – make your work easier. Deliver the required documentation and model information efficiently using a wider variety of supported industry formats. Collaborate with ease and in compliance with your project’s specifications. Leverage the power of enhanced communication between all project stakeholders for more integrated, connected workflows.
Highlights of Tekla Structures 2024:
Improved automatic fabrication drawing creation
When using cloning to create assembly drawings, you now automatically get more correct results, so less adjusting is needed. And when the model changes, your drawings stay up-to-date better.
Better industry-standard support for drawings
Gain greater control over your drawing setups to meet specific project needs and regulatory standards. With the ability to utilize custom colours and adhere to industry-standard font sizes, your drawings will not only look professional but also remain compliant. Additionally, Tekla Structures 2024 now supports direct delivery of your drawings in DGN format, catering to the demands of your project stakeholders efficiently.
Renewed IFC property set control for exported model objects
Now you have better control over model object properties in the IFC exports to satisfy project requirements at each project phase. Manage flexibly all properties in one place. Include BuildingSMART property sets, previously integrated and unexposed properties and use filters to apply details to specific model parts.
New Trimble Connect BCF Topics replace ToDos in Tekla Structures
Leverage BCF Topics, the open industry standard from buildingSMART, for improved model-based communication across all construction project stakeholders. The customizable issue management workflow of the BCF standard, integrated with Trimble Connect, allows for the storage of model markups, comments, and attachments in a shared project space. This facilitates transparent communication and can be seamlessly synced, for example, with your fabricator’s operations in Tekla PowerFab, ensuring efficient collaboration.
Better control of data storage location for Tekla Model Sharing
Select the storage location for your Tekla Model Sharing project data to comply with project-specific data storage requirements.
Constructible rebar data to streamline workflow
Benefit from enhanced and more accurate rebar geometry generation using rebar sets. Better control the reinforcement shape recognition in numbering to ensure that the bar bending schedules (BBS) are optimized for fabrication, delivery logistics and site operations.
Property pane improvements
Now you can quickly copy properties when modelling or editing drawings. Also, property panes were added to all drawing objects for consistent experience.
More intuitive modelling
Enjoy more intuitive modelling with less iterations from the start. Do more in one view with the new way of rotating the model and better snapping options. Enjoy quicker ways of inserting bolts correctly at the get-go!
Improved and integrated Bridge Creator
The enhanced Bridge Creator, now included in Tekla Structures 2024 installation, provides a comprehensive modelling workflow for bridge engineers. Bring road alignment and benefit from automatic geometry creation and extrusion, for quicker modelling and detailing of various types of bridges.
Simple steel connection design using Tekla Tedds Integrator
Save time by linking Tekla Tedds design calculation documents to your model without downloading and installing the Integrator extension separately. Tekla Tedds allows writing your own calculations, but you can also utilize an extensive library of quality-assured calculations for several design codes. Automate Eurocode calculations for steel shear and end plate simple connections, and update geometry changes seamlessly.
