[7] Tekla Structures is used in the construction industry for steel and concrete detailing, precast and cast in-situ.

The software enables users to create and manage 3D structural models in concrete or steel, and guides them through the process from concept to fabrication.

[9] Tekla Structures is known to support large models with multiple simultaneous users, but is regarded as relatively expensive, complex to learn and fully utilize.

[1] It competes in the BIM market with AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, DProfiler and Digital Project, Lucas Bridge, PERICad and others.

[19] It was the "first hydroelectric project that has seen steel, concrete, and rebar fully detailed using Tekla Structures".
