Tekla: Structures 2017

Yes, for legacy project maintenance and small-scale steel fabrication. The long answer: No, for new, complex, collaborative BIM projects.

Perhaps the most technically significant advancement in Tekla Structures 2017 was the overhaul of the Clash Check tool. In structural engineering, identifying conflicts—such as a steel beam running through a plumbing pipe or a concrete wall cutting through a rebar cage—is critical. Historically, clash checking was a heavy, calculation-intensive process that could slow down a workstation significantly. tekla structures 2017

For concrete detailing, the software introduced a more flexible method for creating and modifying reinforcement. This made it easier to handle complex concrete geometries and improved the overall pour management workflow. Yes, for legacy project maintenance and small-scale steel
