Extract text from Tekla Structures reports (XSR)
To convert XSR reports to another format, you need Tekla Structures or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Structural Model Report" file type, you need software like Tekla Structures or a similar tool.
The .XSR file is a proprietary structural model report generated by Tekla Structures, an advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) application. Structural engineers and steel detailers use this format to store fabrication data, structural engineering reports, and Bill of Materials (BOM) inventories.
The main disadvantage of the .XSR format is its strict vendor lock-in. It is designed to be viewed only within the Tekla ecosystem, which requires an expensive enterprise license. If you share an .XSR file with a client, architect, or fabrication shop that does not have Tekla installed, they will be unable to open it. Furthermore, .XSR files cannot be viewed in standard web browsers or document readers, creating severe bottlenecks in project communication.
To make this engineering data usable, you must convert the .XSR file into universally recognized formats. For archiving or sharing locked structural reports, convert it to PDF. If you need to edit the Bill of Materials, calculate costs, or parse the steel detailing data, convert it to CSV or XLSX to analyze the data in Microsoft Excel.
Convert.Guru analyzes your XSR file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted XLSX, TXT, XLS, ZIP, PDF, NOTEPAD, XRS, RPT, NWD, KSS, JPG, RAR and DAT files.
If you want to convert XSR file to PDF, XLS, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, INI, CFG, CONF or DAT, you can use Tekla Structures or similar software from the "Structural Engineering Report" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert DBF, XML, SQLITE, XLSX, SQL, TSV, ACCDB, YAML, MDB, CSV, ODS or JSON files to XSR, try Tekla Structures or another comparable tool in the "Structural Engineering Report" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our XSR converter.
