APIs and connectors: Tekla Open API (based on .NET) enables custom integrations, plugins, and data extraction. Many firms develop connectors for ERP, procurement, material management, or schedule engines.
Multiple levels of detail (LOD): Tekla supports progression from conceptual LOD to LOD 400–500 (fabrication and erection-level detail). Users can maintain different levels of representation within a model or derive simplified models for coordination. tekla structures environment
Continuous improvement: Collect feedback, measure KPIs (model errors found, time to produce shop drawings, fabrication rework), and refine templates, macros, and processes. APIs and connectors: Tekla Open API (based on
Parametric, information-rich objects: Structural elements (beams, columns, plates, bolts, rebar, cast-in items) combine geometry with attributes (material, grade, profile, fabrication data, phase). This allows Tekla to produce detailed cut lists, NC files, and fabrication drawings. Users can maintain different levels of representation within
Training and onboarding: Provide role-based training for engineers, detailers, fabricators, and coordinators. Use hands-on, project-based training to accelerate adoption.
