Plant Design Suite for Tekla Structures

Every industrial plant ends up in one platform. We start there.

Piping, cable supports and plant-specific extensions that allow designers to complete an entire plant from layout to fabrication in a single platform.

Everything in one model.

The Plant Design Suite is the process and mechanical layer on top of Tekla Structures.

Tekla model of a row of pump discharge pipes with flanged valves, fittings and supports, under the steel Released, version 3 ParaMatic Piping Route, design and detail piping complete with its supports natively inside Tekla Structures. Tekla model of a cable tray tee with its supports Released ParaMatic Cabling Route, design and detail cable support systems natively inside Tekla Structures. Tekla model of a round tank built from bolted plates, with flanged nozzles In development Automated tanks Automatically model and detail tanks within your Tekla model by defining a few parameters.

Complete an entire plant from layout to fabrication in a single platform. Why design plants in Tekla

From concept to fabrication drawings.

  1. Concept

    Scan the plant, or start from an empty site. Lay out the structures, equipment and tanks.

  2. Layout and detail

    Model the steel, pipes and cable trays together, in one Tekla model.

  3. Fabrication

    Issue the drawings, lists and machine files directly from the model.

By engineers, for engineers.

Every version of our software is stress tested by ParaMatic Projects on real projects.

Good to know

What the suite does, and what it does not.

Do I need Tekla Structures?
Yes. Everything runs inside Tekla Structures on Windows, so each user needs a Tekla licence. If your team shares one model with Tekla Model Sharing, everyone needs the same Tekla version.
Does it draw the P&IDs?
Not yet.
Does it replace structural analysis software?
No. The structure is still designed in your analysis software, and the Tekla model is updated to match.
How do I try it?
