Tekla Structures parametric 3-D structural Building Information Modeling (BIM) software suits precast designers and producers. Among software developer-cited system capabilities are:
Creating dynamic sales models and more accurate estimates
- Intuitive modeling that lets the user create several alternatives with accurate cost estimates
- Efficient optimization of structural solutions
- Visualization capabilities contributing to powerful sales presentations
Producing preliminary designs and engineering
- Consistent drawings, reports and other documents, because the model contains all of the structural information
- Fully object-based parametric modeling, allowing the user to design in a true 3-D environment
- Drawing objects associated with model objects, which means less editing and more time saved
- Management of the model and project as a whole, not as an aggregate of potentially nonmatching individual objects
- Unlimited options for viewing a design in real time, regardless of the size or complexity of the project
Faster and more accurate detailing
- Automated features handling routine work, such as production drawing, leaving the user free to focus on essential design decisions
- Flexible libraries of connections, reinforcements and cast-in embedments, allowing instant application of accurate details to any design
- Efficient modeling and storage of specific connections, details and drawing templates for reuse in future projects
Managing change with ease
- Costly errors minimized though change management
- Reaction to a change of all related components, i.e., drawings and documentation updated automatically
- Automated clash-checking to expose design conflicts
Improving the flow of information from sales to erection
- Consistent utilization of information Û user inputs information once
- Information accumulative and accessible by everyone
- All changes reflected in the output, eliminating the duplication of date, mistakes and human error
- Multi-user capabilities for efficient throughput and fluent collaboration with other parties involved in the project
Integrating sales & erection with design & detailing
- Production management and fabrication data obtained directly from the model
- Fully integrated drawing production to ensure everything fits together on the construction site
- Open and customized solution to support production needs
