Steel structure drawing deepening is a huge project, which requires detail drawing deepening staff to have enough steel structure knowledge, good spatial thinking ability, enough patience and carefulness. From the beginning of hand-drawn drawing to computer CAD two-dimensional drawing, and then to today’s three-dimensional modeling, steel structure detailed drawing deepening work has gradually matured.

With the development of steel structure, it is no longer simply used in the frame plant structure, but also widely used in large span, complex civil buildings. Therefore, simple 2D CAD drawing can not meet the production needs, so steel structure companies began to use 3D modeling disassembly. There are several kinds of 3D mapping tools, and Tekla Structures is the most widely used for detailed steel structure mapping.

Tekla Structures (formerly known as Xsteel) is a steel structure detail design program, developed by Tekla (acquired by Trimble in 2012) from Finland in the mid-1990s. As Tekla’s first construction product, it has evolved into a widely used steel structure deepening application worldwide since its launch. To improve efficiency, ensure construction quality, and streamline the work flow, many companies are using Tekla Structures to convert detailed steel structures.

As an industry-leading, professional aid application for steel structure detail drawing design and analysis, Tekla Structures’ functions include full integration of 3D solid structure modeling and structural analysis, 3D design of steel structure detail, 3D design of reinforced concrete, project management, automatic Shop Drawing, automatic BOM table generation system, and a range of the most accurate and comprehensive 3D building information modeling (BIM) tools on the market.

Tekla Structures allows you to create, combine, manage, and share multi-material 3D models containing valuable construction information, works with all materials and the most complex structures, greatly simplifies the workflow of the entire steel structure design, so as to enable you to create detailed steel structures in the shortest time possible. The models created with it have accurate, reliable and detailed information, which is exactly what successful BIM and construction require.

In conclusion, Tekla Structures is a powerful 3D intelligent deepening design and detailed drawing software, has unique advantages especially in solving the difficult problems of design, deepening, machining and installation of large and complex steel structure engineering, and can effectively improve productivity and ensure construction quality. It can be used for the design of a variety of architectural facilities such as stadiums, offshore structures, workshops and factories, residential buildings, bridges and skyscrapers.
