Ships
 LEEDS,
UK, Feb 01, 2010 - Tekla has launched its annual main version of Tekla Structures BIM software. In
addition to Windows 7 compatibility and altogether close to 500 feature
improvements, the new Tekla Structures 16 introduces several workflow benefits,
such as an improved solution for cast-in-place concrete and again better IFC
data exchange.Tekla Structures BIM (Building Information Modeling) software
is being developed according to a long-term plan of improved user
experience, process, and functionality. This is to provide the whole
building design and construction project team a unique model-based way of
collaboration, including possibilities for increased business, productivity,
and sustainability.
Tekla Structures 16 is 'all about you and your team' and compatible with
the Windows 7 operating system. There are many features to improve the
users' workflow, such as an improved solution for cast-in-place design and
detailing, again better IFC data exchange, better utilization of reference
models, improved numbering, and model publishing tools, such as a free
application to share the model over the Internet. New features include
improved usability by snapping tools and by zooming to selected parts, an
updated Master Drawing Catalog, better object-level settings, and new
filtering and instant graphics on drawings.
In addition, Tekla has started to move towards a more efficient online
delivery of new versions. The Tekla Structures 16 installation has been
built according to Microsoft's requirements for the Windows 7 certification.
The Tekla Structures product box, if needed, is now made from recycled
material.
"With this new version it is very important for us to introduce a BIM
process that is based on the detailed building information model. Tekla
Structures 16 includes a newly developed offering for cast-in-place concrete
design and detailing, especially for Self-Performing Cast-in-Place
contractors," says Tekla Executive Vice President Risto Räty. "Moving
towards a greener installation is a small step forward but still part of the
bigger sustainability benefits that implementing BIM can bring to
construction."

Tekla's technology creates new opportunities for the construction
industry. Tekla Structures, the most advanced BIM (Building Information
Modeling) software on the market, provides an accurate, dynamic, and
data-rich 3D environment that can be shared by contractors, structural
engineers, steel detailers and fabricators, as well as concrete detailers
and manufacturers. The highly detailed as-built structural models created in
Tekla Structures enable the highest level of constructability and production
control. Centralizing model and non-model based data into the model allows
for more collaborative and integrated project management and delivery. This
translates into increased productivity, elimination of waste, and an
enhanced value for structural modeling.
