Cable supports and racking, in your Tekla model.
Model cable trays and racking, with their supports and brackets, in Tekla Structures, on the same model as your steel and piping.
A cable support network, set up your way.
Cable layouts of any shape or size, modelled and changed inside Tekla Structures, next to the steel that carries them.
Smart cable supports
A network of smart cable supports, connections and bracket types that you set up for each job.
Elbows, tees and crossings
Configurations from elbows to tees, with cross-connections, for cable layouts of any shape or size.
On the steel model
Supports and racking sit in the structural model, hung from the steel or the concrete. You do not need to import from another CAD program.
Live bill of quantities
Dynamic catalogue links build a live bill of quantities, with supplier codes.
Drawings and reports
Fabrication drawings, reports and bills of purchase, generated from the model.
Line breakdown reports
New in the August 2026 release of ParaMatic MEP for Tekla Structures.
Model the route. The racking follows.
- Model the route as simple poly beams. The add-on details the racking along them, to your specification.
- Add elbows, tees and crosses, and custom T-brackets.
- Hang the racking from the steel or the concrete: hung, horizontal or on standoff brackets.
- Change the racking offset, and the supports adjust.
Every screw, washer and nut, counted.
The buy-out list comes from live catalogue links with supplier codes. Since August 2026, Cabling also makes line breakdown reports.
When the steel arrives pre-drilled for the supports, the racking goes where it was designed, not where someone decides on the day.
