Link Tekla Structures with an analysis application

To use an external analysis application with Tekla Structures analysis models, you need to install a direct link between Tekla Structures and the analysis application.

Before you start, ensure that you have:

Access to the Tekla User Assistance service
Administrator rights to your computer

Log in to your computer as an administrator.
Install Tekla Structures if you do not already have it installed.
Install the analysis application if you do not already have it installed.
Log in to the Tekla User Assistance service and browse for the link installation instructions in Support Articles > Analysis and Design.
Click an appropriate article, for example, Technical Document: Integration between Tekla Structural Designer and Tekla Structures.
Follow the instructions in the support article to download the link for the analysis application.
If needed, install the IFC and CIS/2 formats as advised in the support article.

Note:

If you need to uninstall and reinstall Tekla Structures and/or the analysis application for some reason, you will also need to reinstall the link after installing Tekla Structures and/or the analysis application.
