Consequently the latest Tekla products enable smoother information delivery on projects that are typically growing in size and complexity. Trimble Structures senior product director, Michael Evans, explains:
“Our product development focuses on delivering solutions that make building information more easily available, constructible and shareable to stakeholders across the industry to optimize the use of resources. Through continuous enhancements, in-product intelligence and expanded support for sustainable construction, we provide our customers with one of the most advanced BIM technology platforms on the market today.”
Tekla BIM software is a powerful tool for developing and achieving environmentally friendly construction methods. It enables designers and engineers to optimize the use of resources, minimize waste, and enable full asset lifecycle maintenance.
Tekla community
With the use of open standards, Trimble’s Tekla software products also have an active partner community. Tekla partners are developing their projects using Tekla API (application programming interface). This includes complementary applications for specialized industry sectors such as scaffolding design, industrial projects, and detailing for modular construction, such as light metal framing.

Steel fabrication management software suite Tekla PowerFab 2023 offers some interesting new features. These help fabricators manage changes in their projects efficiently and minimize errors. In the latest version of PowerFab, subscribers can gain quick and easy access to visual production dashboards and a handy shipping calendar.
The mobile tool Tekla PowerFab Go provides new time-saving functionalities. To support sustainable material sourcing, Tekla PowerFab 2023 also has the ability to track the origin of raw materials.
Tekla Structures 2023
Structural BIM software Tekla Structures continues to improve the user experience. Thus making it easier for users to learn and adopt its time-saving features. Its updated drawing editor also makes the software easier to learn and use.
Tekla Structures creates advanced detailing for fabrication workflows and brings project communication to a new level. In its rebar detailing, complex bar shape designs are easier to share with procurement, manufacturing, and the construction site.
Customers in steel fabrication benefit from greater flexibility by being able to cover more detailing options related to bolts and holes for specialized industries. The software also features updated outputs and exports in the field of detailing for the fabrication of multiple types of projects and materials.
Tekla Structural Designer 2023
Tekla Structural Designer 3D design and analysis software introduces a rigorous analytical approach to footfall assessment that can bring substantial cost benefits as well as a reduction in risk through accurate quantification of performance. The engineer can run multiple footfall scenarios in a single model effortlessly.

Tekla Structural Designer 2023 further supports optimized engineering office workflows by:
- Enhancing the link to connection design software, including IDEA StatiCa® software.
- Improving workflows for timber design using Tekla Tedds.
- Introducing a new integrator for Autodesk® Revit® 2023 users.
- Strengthening the design-to-detail workflow with Tekla Structures.
Tekla Tedds 2023
The structural design software Tekla Tedds now offers seamless integration of structural design information and documentation with Tekla Structures to improve collaborative design-to-detailing workflows. Improved integration with Tekla Structures also enables linking Tedds calculations to Tekla Structures components.
With this added functionality, Tekla software now provides a seamless workflow for end-to-end connection, checking between the engineer and steel detailers. In addition, the Tekla Tedds calculations support multi-material design in Tekla Structural Designer. The latest version also includes new and updated calculations for faster, more reliable structural element design.
Information Security
As part of Trimble’s ongoing efforts to provide enterprise-level security required in environments that thrive on data sharing, all Tekla products are now certified to be fully compliant with ISO27001. This is a well-respected global standard for managing information securely.
