How to Install and Use Tekla Structures Multi-User Server 2.3 20

Tekla Structures is a powerful software for structural design and detailing. It allows you to create accurate 3D models of any type of structure, from buildings and bridges to plants and offshore structures. Tekla Structures also supports collaborative work with other project stakeholders, such as architects, engineers, contractors, and fabricators.

One of the ways to collaborate with Tekla Structures is to use the Multi-User mode, which enables several users to access and modify the same model at the same time. This can improve the efficiency and quality of the design process, as well as reduce errors and conflicts. However, to use the Multi-User mode, you need to install and run a Multi-User server on your network.

In this article, we will show you how to install and use Tekla Structures Multi-User Server 2.3 20, which is compatible with Tekla Structures versions 17.0 and above. We will also provide some troubleshooting tips and best practices for using the Multi-User mode.

Installing Tekla Structures Multi-User Server 2.3 20

To install Tekla Structures Multi-User Server 2.3 20, you need to do the following steps:

Download the Multi-User Server installation package from Tekla Downloads. Note that you need a valid Tekla account to access the download page.

Choose a server computer or a machine that acts as a server to host the Multi-User service. We recommend installing it on a company server that is available anytime for users to use.

Run the installation package and follow the instructions on the screen. By default, the server files will be placed in C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Tekla Structures Multi-user Server.

After successful installation, you should be able to see the service listed under Windows Services. To open Windows Services, navigate to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.

If the Multi-User server status is \"running\", then you can now take it into use by following the steps below. If not, you may need to start or restart the service manually.

Using Tekla Structures Multi-User Server 2.3 20

To use Tekla Structures Multi-User Server 2.3 20, you need to do the following steps:

Make sure that all the users who are working on Multi-User mode are running the same Tekla Structures version and service release and environment. If not, you may encounter compatibility issues or errors.

Make sure that all the models that are going to be converted or opened in Multi-User mode are placed in a network location that is accessible by all users. If not, you may face connection problems or data loss.

To convert a current, open model to a Multi-User model, do this: On the File menu, click Sharing > Convert to a multi-user model. Enter the Multi-User server name or select the name from the list in the Convert to multi-user model dialog box. Click Convert. The current model is converted to a Multi-User model.

To convert some other than the current model to a Multi-User model, do this: On the File menu, click Open > All models. Select the single-user model to be converted from the list of models, and click Convert to multi-user model. Enter the Multi-User server name or select the name from the list in the Convert to multi-user model dialog box. Click Convert.

To open a Multi-User model, do this: On the File menu, click Open > All models. Select the Multi-User model from the list of models, and click Open in multi-user mode.

To work on a Multi-User model, do this: Use Tekla Structures as usual, but remember to save your changes frequently by clicking Save on the File menu or pressing Ctrl+S. You can also see who else is working on the same model by clicking Sharing > Show users on model on the File menu. 061ffe29dd
