: Dedicated DirectX 11 or OpenGL 4.5 compatible card with 4 GB+ VRAM.
Enhanced modeling of curved structures, lofted plates, and intricate rebar geometries.
Tekla 2020 strengthened its commitment to Open BIM principles. The x64 platform ensures that importing and exporting massive IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) files, DWG graphics, or point cloud data from laser scans occurs seamlessly, promoting frictionless collaboration with architects and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) engineers. Bridging the Gap: The Analysis-to-Detailing Workflow
Seamlessly integrate steel, cast-in-place concrete, and precast elements in a single interface. Tekla Structures Design Suite 2020 -x64-
Tekla 2020 truly embraced cloud collaboration via , which was now included with a Tekla Structures Maintenance subscription. This platform allows all project stakeholders to share, review, and coordinate data-rich models, drawings, and schedules in real-time from any laptop, desktop, or mobile device. Key new features included:
Enhanced analytical modeling of floor slabs to accurately distribute lateral loads to the vertical lateral-force-resisting systems. 3. Tekla Tedds 2020 (The Automated Calculator)
: Automate design checks against international codes, including Eurocodes, AISC, and ACI. 3. Tekla Tedds (Automated Calculations) : Dedicated DirectX 11 or OpenGL 4
From high-rise office towers to expansive distribution warehouses, the software optimizes the path from architectural concept to structural steel fabrication and concrete placement.
While Tekla Structures handles the detailing, the "Design Suite" refers to a bundled product strategy introduced in 2020. The is a bundled product that includes:
Faster, automated interference checking to identify design conflicts before fabrication. The x64 platform ensures that importing and exporting
: A specialized 3D analysis and design program. It automates both the physical modeling and the analytical calculations, allowing you to design for steel, concrete, and timber within one model. Tekla Tedds 2020
The focus on "as-built" models ensures that what is designed can actually be built, reducing onsite issues.
While it can run on Windows 11, testing and official support for that OS only started with Tekla Structures 2022.
