Enhancements and Further Open Standards
Adoption Boost Collaboration Performance
WESTMINSTER, Colo., March 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB)
announced today the introduction of 2024 versions of its
Tekla® software for constructible Building Information
Modeling (BIM), structural engineering and steel fabrication
management. Boasting an enhanced user experience, Tekla Structures
2024, Tekla Structural Designer 2024, Tekla
Tedds 2024 and Tekla PowerFab 2024 let users collaborate
with ease through enhanced communication for more integrated,
connected workflows between all construction project stakeholders.
Usability improvements make the Tekla suite of solutions ideal for
experienced and new users alike, helping them to be on schedule and
within budget of their projects.
Collaboration is one of the deciding factors for the success of
BIM. The 2024 Tekla versions include industry-standard
communications improvements that allow users to deliver required
documentation and model information efficiently, using a wider
variety of supported industry formats. Connected workflows form the
cornerstone of sustainable construction strategies to focus on
increasing efficiency, optimizing resource allocation, reducing
waste and supporting comprehensive maintenance across the full
lifecycle of an asset- all anchored in constructible design.
"Improving coordination between all stakeholders on projects is
key to ensuring the industry can deliver projects on time, budget
and schedule. The Tekla 2024 versions are another significant step
in bringing all those stakeholders closer together," said
Michael Evans, senior product
director, Trimble engineering and BIM solutions.
Tekla Structures 2024
The 2024 version of Tekla
Structures provides an enhanced user experience for staying on
schedule and on budget. It provides engineers and detailers — who
work on complex geometry projects — access to more intuitive
modeling with fewer iterations from the start. Automated
fabrication drawing cloning improvements deliver significant
benefits for steel and precast cast unit drawings creation.
Tekla Structures' robust change management allows users to work
efficiently with the opportunity to quickly deliver drawings that
match industry regulations and transfer model data error-free to
support client requirements.
Open Industry Standards Support
An even stronger
alignment with industry workflows through the support of open
standards such as BCF (BIM Collaboration Format), allows Tekla
Structures 2024 users to communicate model-based issues among
project collaborators throughout all project phases. In the
software, buildingSMART properties are supported by improved and
extended IFC property sets, out-of-the box.
Integrated Workflows
By enhancing interoperability between Trimble software, hardware
and other third-party solutions, Tekla Structures 2024 delivers new
integrated workflows for better collaboration. Enhanced rebar
geometry generation is optimized for fabrication, delivery
logistics and site operations. Data exchange with the field and
scanning hardware from Trimble allows users to retrieve as-built
data from the site and share accurate designs back. Trimble Connect
Business Premium — included in the Tekla Structures named user
license — comes with improved collaborative workflow
capabilities, such as model-based status sharing.
Extended offering for new licenses
Tekla Structures
users can now leverage three products in one powerful offering. A
"Named User License" for Tekla Structures now includes Trimble
Connect Business Premium and Tekla Model Sharing as an all-in-one
solution. Trimble Connect Business Premium provides access to
workflow extensions and advanced BIM tools for faster,
higher-quality project delivery.
Tekla Structural Designer 2024
The analysis capability
of the structural design and analysis software Tekla Structural
Designer 2024 has been enhanced with Staged Construction Analysis,
which takes into account that there is a sequence in construction
and loading. This fully automated process — that is quick and easy
to use — can be applied to the design of both concrete and steel
structures. Structural Engineers can now also use reference models
from other disciplines such as architecture or MEP to check
compatibility with their structural model.
Tekla Tedds 2024
The
latest version of Tekla's software for structural engineering
calculations builds upon the seamless integration of structural
design information and documentation with Tekla Structures to
improve collaborative design-to-detailing. Tekla Tedds 2024 offers updated libraries of
predefined structural calculations and custom calculation
capabilities for faster, more reliable structural element design,
also in multi-material designs. It now also offers masonry design
for US codes, steel angle design for European and US codes, and
retaining basement wall analysis and design for European and US
codes.
Tekla PowerFab 2024
The 2023i version of the Tekla
PowerFab steel fabrication management software introduced visual
change management and estimate job costing. The latest version now
introduces enhanced project management tools for organizing and
keeping track of subcontracts, change order breakdown and
integration with BCF Topics using Trimble Connect. BCF Topics
allows for companies using different software to collaborate, with
the ability for project managers to do multi-project follow-up and
reporting of Topics. To further improve the office-to-shop
communication and transparency, Tekla PowerFab 2024 introduces a
new cutlist prioritization.
Information Security
As part of Trimble's ongoing
efforts to provide enterprise-level security required in
environments that thrive on data sharing, all Tekla
products are certified to be fully compliant with ISO27001,
the leading global standard for information security
management.
