Architects can work together with structural engineers or contractors using Tekla Structures software on a project. This Tekla advantage ensures that the architectural design intent is consistently compatible to the structural model being built at the construction site.

• Design collaboration
  Unmatched speed for collaboration during the design phase; numerous filtering tools and illustrations to use when hosting coordination meetings
• Construction collaboration
  Manage and track data flow by the construction team and structural engineer
• Visualizing exposed structures
  View exposed structural steel, structural wood or even precast concrete during the early stages of conceptual design

Open and collaborative BIM platform
Tekla is the industry leader in open collaboration and interoperability that support BIM (Building Information Modeling). Tekla Structures software is IFC-certified by the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI).

Using Tekla Structures, it is possible to share model and drawing information with all IFC-compliant architectural modeling programs. For example, there is a unique XML link between Tekla Structures and Graphisoft ArchiCAD, which allows architects and engineers to share and coordinate project information.   Tekla Structures software ensures effective collaboration and referencing for both architects and structural engineers. The software supports legacy formats, such as DGN and DWG with an AutoCAD drawing export, allowing engineers to create DWG files. The drawings can then be imported into the architectural drawing environment for production or referencing.
