Tekla Model Sharing

Question: How to work between offices or

partners?

Office 1 Office 2

18

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

Tekla Model Sharing: Basics

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.
