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 proceed simultaneously.

Why Tekla Structural Designer?

Tekla Structural Designer enables you to work faster and deliver projects more efficiently, regardless of your construction material.

Tekla Structural Designer Twickenham Riverside

Faster design time
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.

Easy change management
Calculation reports are linked directly to the model, so they update automatically. This means you can manage changes instantly without having to manually generate new reports when variations occur.

Quick scheme comparison
It takes just a few minutes to create a range of alternative schemes and establish the most cost-effective solution for your client. You’ll become more competitive and can bid more effectively with minimal effort.

Code-compliant design
Choose from a wide range of international design codes of practice. Tekla Structural Designer supports Eurocodes, US, Indian and Australian codes, as well as British Standards.

Seamless BIM collaboration, automated analysis and fast structural design

Transform the way you work with Tekla Structural Designer

Designed for BIM
We have developed Tekla Structural Designer specifically to help the design engineer maximize collaboration with all other project parties, including architects, fabricators and contractors. BIM integration offers a smooth and effective way to maintain quality, reduce rework and drive seamless collaboration.

One product, one interface, one model
From scheme design to detailed design, one model will cover all your structural analysis and design requirements, encompassing both gravity and lateral systems. With Tekla Structural Designer there are no additional modules to buy so you will not waste time switching between multiple software packages.

Intelligent synchronization
Experience total flexibility and save valuable design and drafting time. Your design model can start in Tekla Structural Designer, Tekla Structures or even Autodesk Revit. You can synchronize models multiple times with confidence throughout the project to instantly assess the impact of changes and deliver a highly optimized solution.

Automated wind loading
We understand how painful it can be to apply loading so we have made it easier for you. Full building wind loads are automatically calculated and applied to your model, saving time on this long-winded and complex task. And there is no need to worry about all the other lateral loading required by the design code.

Powerful analysis, total transparency
The software auto-generates an analytical model allowing you to focus on the design of the structure of any size or complexity. While fully automated, you get completely transparent analysis results, so you can investigate the forces, deflections and all design calculations, giving you complete confidence in the solution.

Finite elements
The software incorporates a highly powerful Finite Element (FE) engine. Whether you are considering an irregular concrete flat plate with openings, or a complex core wall system, you can take advantage of fully automated FE meshing tools and lightning-fast analysis to explore their behavior.

Assessment of footfall
Human footfall is a significant source of vibration. Tekla Structural Designer provides a rigorous analytical approach to footfall analysis that easily allows comparison and reporting of different scenarios without needing to remodel the floorế.

Rigorous slab deflection
Deflection always needs to be assessed when designing concrete slabs to meet serviceability criteria. Tekla Structural Designer offers a superior solution for this with exceptionally fast analysis capabilities allowing value engineering to be performed.

Staged Construction Analysis
Tekla Structural Designer includes Staged Construction Analysis (SCA). This recognizes a structure’s changing state over time which can result in a more economical design. Despite the complexity of the process, this feature is easy to use.

Fully automated
Optimize multi-material buildings in a fraction of the time. Have all the critical information needed to provide a fully automated design to your chosen building code. Regardless of complexity, you can design all members and consider the overall 3D building design in one seamless process.

Efficient reinforced concrete design
The software will instantly achieve an optimized design for all rebar within the beams, columns, slabs, flat plates and walls. Once designed, detailed reinforcement drawings and accurate material quantities are automatically generated for the whole building, meaning you can provide cost options early in the design process.

Optimized steel design
Tekla Structural Designer will design all the steelwork automatically, based on the engineer’s specific requirements. This includes the detailed design and optimization of composite beams, columns, US joists, trusses, braces and plated sections. Maximize your efficiency and achieve the optimum design at the touch of a button.

Compare design schemes
It takes just a few minutes to create a range of alternative schemes and establish the most cost-effective solution for your client. Assess and compare the embodied carbon of your design options. You can become more competitive and bid more effectively with minimal effort.

Leverage parametric design
The Grasshopper-Tekla Structural Designer live link allows parametric, algorithmic modeling to enable multiple data-driven design solutions to be explored quickly and efficiently. Deliver with confidence and achieve the best solution for the client.

Other structural materials
In addition to the main construction materials, steel and cast in place concrete, Tekla Structural Designer supports design of other materials such as precast concrete, timberwood and masonry utilizing Tekla Tedds calculations

Professional output
It is easy to communicate your design because Tekla Structural Designer automatically produces accurate and detailed documentation including calculation reports, material take-offs and drawings. Reinforcement drawings for the entire building or tonnages of steel for estimating, all available in a touch of a button.

Real-time information
Because the single model contains all the design information, you can generate documentation and make informed decisions at any stage of the project, starting at a very early scheme design. The calculation reports are linked directly to the model, so they update automatically.

Range of export options
Whether you wish to provide beam reactions or bracing forces to the contractor or prepare calculation reports for submission, Tekla Structural Designer enables you to export data to a wide range of file formats. Increase communication and reduce the risk of errors.
