Tekla Structures v15 Released for BIM
 ESPOO,
Finland,
Mar 31, 2009 - Tekla is committed to delivering a new and improved software
version every year, no matter the economic situation. Tekla Structures 15,
available now, is the annual main version of Tekla's BIM (Building Information
Modeling) solution that will help further improve design-to-construction project
cooperation and delivery through enhanced modeling tools and visualization.

Tekla sees that the recession is the time to start preparing for the next
upturn, by reviewing work processes and learning to use the most advanced tools.
The new features in Tekla Structures 15 software allow modeling and detailing
again more intuitively, creating better drawings and other output, as well as
improving construction project collaboration, management and delivery through
enhanced interoperability and visualization. In addition, there is a 64-bit
version of Tekla Structures 15 available that allows tackling even bigger
projects than before. To help users benefit from the new features more quickly,
Tekla provides online videos and tutorials for efficient self-learning.
"In the current economic situation, companies in the AEC industry can create
significant competitive advantage by streamlining their processes through
mastering the latest technology," says Tekla Executive Vice President Risto Räty.
"Those who are able to use the most advanced tools will find work in a situation
where costs are cut to the minimum and projects tightly competed for. Prices for
Design and Detailing have already dropped up to 25%, and whoever has use of the
latest, most efficient tool will be able to better meet that demand and achieve
a profit margin," he concludes.
"The need for fast, accurate exchange of information between all members of
the design team is critical," says Stuart Wardle, Associate Director of 3DS Ltd,
a UK registered company marketing a range of design, detailing and development
services to the steelwork construction industry. "Tekla's commitment to
continually develop their software to collaborate with other construction
processes has played a vital role in contributing to the success of our recent
projects."
