Hi,
Just would like to answer based on my exp. on tekla. Now Tekla can design and analyze but tekla using the STAAD enviroment to analyze. It means you model the member in tekla and after that tekla use this model ( call "design model') to run in the environment of STAAD to analyze and design. After desing and analyze, you can come back to tekla to detail the structure ( means modelling the connection or rebar and produce the drg).
If you can use Etabs or staad you can use the etab models or staad model to export to tekla and produce the drg. Because I think tekla do not have many good ultiliies for design and analysis as Etabs, sap or staad.
Masterseries is really good for quick design, especially on the steel connection. I used Masterseries for desing the connection ( prduce calculation sheet) after that coming back to tekla to detailling.
Hope to make it clear!
Cheers
