The Tekla Structures Profile Catalog was first introduced in the early 2000s as a part of Tekla Structures software. Initially, it contained a limited number of profiles from a few countries. However, as the software gained popularity and the demand for more profiles grew, Tekla Structures expanded its catalog to include profiles from around the world. Today, the catalog contains thousands of profiles from various countries, manufacturers, and standards.
