Because this is a legacy version, its hardware requirements are modest by today's standards. However, for large industrial models (refineries or skyscrapers), you still needed serious power.

While the move to a ribbon-style interface (similar to Microsoft Office) had been in progress, 2017 refined this significantly. The organization of tools became more logical, grouping commands by workflow phase rather than by technical category. This meant that a steel detailer could find all connection tools in one visual cluster, rather than hunting through dropdown menus. The customization of the ribbon also became easier, allowing firms to create bespoke workspaces tailored to their specific project types. tekla structures 2017
