Investing in the Tekla Design Suite workflow yields tangible returns for engineering consultants and contractors alike:
Tekla Structures Design Suite 2020 is a 64-bit version of the software, designed for Windows operating systems. It's a powerful tool for creating detailed, accurate, and constructable 3D models of buildings and other structures.
Engineers can analyze steel and concrete elements within the exact same model, optimizing sections automatically based on regional design codes (including Eurocodes, US codes, and British Standards). and collaborative workflows.
The 2020 suite unifies modeling, detailing, and structural analysis into a single ecosystem. It supports multiple materials and complex geometries with high precision. 1. Advanced 3D Structural Modeling
A dedicated, single-model analysis program that performs physical calculations and automates gravity and lateral loading designs.
The transition of the entire design suite to a native 64-bit architecture is critical for modern engineering workflows. The primary advantages include:
is a specialized software bundle designed for structural engineers and detailers, providing a comprehensive BIM (Building Information Modeling) environment for creating, managing, and sharing highly detailed 3D structural models. The 2020 version introduced significant improvements in productivity, automation, and collaborative workflows. Core Functionality
