Tekla Structural Designer
Seamlessly combine design and analysis into one easy and efficient single model-based process. Deliver safe, effective and rationalized design quicker than before, regardless of structural material.
Optimize your structural design
Work faster and achieve more. Physical modeling drives efficient designs from more accurate simulation. With Tekla Structural Designer, analysis, design, and BIM form an integrated, automated process. Regardless of material or project type, structural analysis and design flow simultaneously.
Work faster and deliver projects more efficiently–regardless of material.
Move beyond the limits of traditional engineering software for faster design and increased profits. With Tekla Structural Designer, you can create physical, information-rich models containing all the intelligence needed to fully automate structural analysis and manage project changes.
Manage changes instantly, with calculation reports that are linked directly to the model and update automatically. So there’s never a need to manually generate new reports when variations occur.
Create a range of alternative schemes and establish the most cost-effective solution for your client–all in just a few minutes. So you can become more competitive and bid more effectively with minimal effort.
Say goodbye to over-designing and adding unnecessary materials. Tekla Structural Designer’s unmatched accuracy enables engineers to more efficiently use materials for a more sustainable build.
