Tekla Model Sharing
Question: How to work between offices or
partners?
Office 1 Office 2

Internet..
Email?
Expensive VPN connection?
Expensive hardware?
Multi-user works well but requires a good
internet connection
Solution: Tekla Model Sharing
● Tekla Model Sharing makes it possible to work simultaneously in
the same Tekla Structures Model and updating the changes even
with a lousy internet connection
● Modeling and saving locally possible even offline
● Updating the changes when working again online -> provides
more flexibility with time and location
● E.g. numbering goes faster than with Multi-user

The model data is safely
stored locally on each
team members computer
and then synchronized
with latest changes
globally via the Tekla
Model Sharing cloud
service hosted by Tekla.
The data is transferred
encrypted and managed
according to the highest
security protocols.
