WQ (HSQ) Beam Modeling Tool for Tekla Structures
Fast and Accurate Design of Welded Box Beams
Looking for a tool to model WQ/HSQ Beams, or other box welded beam types in Tekla Structures?
Our WQ Beam plug-in is designed to speed up and simplify the modeling of welded box beams using Tekla’s native objects. This tool supports efficient creation of plates, welds, end plates, and stiffeners — and ensures your box welded beam models are CNC-ready and fully documented.
Key Features
Accurate Modeling
Modeling of WQ/HSQ Beams in Tekla Structures
Model WQ and HSQ box beams based on profile data using native plate objects. The plug-in creates a complete assembly with flanges, webs, and end plates. Therefore, it is ideal for fabrication-ready box welded beam modeling.
Detailed definitions
Detailed Weld and End Plate Definition
Define all welded connections and end plates easily. In addition, weld dimensions and quantities are automatically included in assembly drawings and material lists. This ensures that manufacturing documentation is fast and consistent.
User-Defined Attributes for Box Beams
Design information
Design-specific information such as steel material, surface treatment, critical temperature, and environmental class can be added to each beam part using custom attributes. These values are fully compatible with part drawings, bill of materials, and automated dimensioning logic.
Additional plugin
Reinforcement and Sleeve Plugin
The optional WQBeamRebarTube extension allows you to model stiffeners and pipe sleeves for edge and central beams. For example, you can define rebar size, length, material, and pipe profile directly in Tekla.

Benefits
Native Objects for CNC and Drawings
All components are created using Tekla native plate objects, enabling precise material take-offs, accurate part and assembly drawings, and easy updates to profiles and configurations.
Tailored UDA Fields
All modeled plates and welds include custom UDAs, allowing essential design data to flow directly into drawing templates and reports.
Automated Drawings
With native parts and UDAs, dimension lines, part lists, and other design data can be generated automatically based on drawing settings and UDA values. This improves accuracy and significantly reduces manual work in documentation.
