SUNNYVALE, Calif., March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) introduced today three new versions of its software for
structural engineering, fabrication and construction teams—Tekla
Structures 2018, Tekla Structural Designer 2018 and Tekla Tedds 2018. These solutions
provide increased control and improved documentation through
constructible Building Information Modeling (BIM)
workflows for stakeholders in structural steel and concrete,
including designers, detailers and fabricators, concrete
contractors, general contractors and structural engineers.
"We develop software solutions that enable our customers to
improve productivity in their daily work," said Ville Rousu, responsible for Trimble's Tekla
software development. "Trimble's focus on advancing technology
throughout the entire structural BIM workflow, from design to
fabrication and construction, allows us to deliver the BIM tools
that contribute to the transformation of the building and
construction industry."
Tekla Structures 2018 brings faster 3D modeling
processes, more precise detailing, better control over changes and
quicker production of drawings with less effort, in addition to
workflow-related efficiency gains. The new version also supports
point clouds, allowing delivery of coordinated, constructible
designs that fit existing structures seamlessly. The improvements
in drawings include quicker drawing production with less effort and
reviewing and adding content faster. The collaborative workflow
from design and analysis to detailing and fabrication is smoother
than before, regardless of structural material.
Tekla Structural Designer 2018 delivers new features and
enhancements focused on structural design workflow productivity.
For example, the new rigorous non-linear concrete slab design
feature automates loading simulation through construction to help
save engineering design time. In addition, enhanced analysis
options for concrete and steel speed design cycles for complex
structural elements. The new version also supports Swedish,
Norwegian and Finnish annexes to the Eurocodes.
Tekla Tedds 2018
introduces a variety of new calculations that enable improved
productivity for civil and structural engineers. The easy-to-use
software offers a quality assured library of code compliant
calculations that are visible for easy review and validation.
A growing number of construction professionals, governments and
owners around the world are embracing BIM technologies and
processes. Projects around the world, from housing and bridges to
factories and skyscrapers, are using Trimble's structural BIM
solutions. Continuous development of Tekla BIM solutions
demonstrates Trimble's commitment to innovation in structural
engineering, off-site prefabrication and on-site efficiency.
