Enhancing construction workflow efficiency with a cutting-edge BIM portfolio
Reduce design time with powerful and automated control functions

Trimble Korea has unveiled the new 2018 versions of three BIM software products—Tekla Structures, Tekla Structural Designer, and Tekla Tedz—that support structural design, fabrication, and construction. Through constructible BIM workflows, the new software provides enhanced control and documentation capabilities to designers, steel detailers, fabricators, concrete contractors, construction companies, and structural engineers in the fields of structural steel and precast concrete.

Bill Rouse, Head of Software Development at Tekla, said, “We are providing cutting-edge technology for every stage of the structural BIM workflow, from design to fabrication and construction, and we will play a part in the innovation of the construction industry through BIM software.”



The newly released Tekla Structures 2018 not only improves workflow efficiency but also accelerates 3D modeling and increases design precision. It also helps designers generate drawings quickly and easily while effectively controlling changes. Version 2018 supports point clouds, allowing users to import constructible 3D models that perfectly match existing structures. Furthermore, improved drawing capabilities have simplified and increased the speed of drawing work, while reducing the time required for reviewing and modifying drawings. It provides a seamless workflow from structural design and analysis to detailing and fabrication, regardless of the materials required for the structure.

Tekla Structural Designer 2018 provides features that enhance the productivity of structural design workflows. The newly introduced non-linear concrete slab design feature reduces design time by automating workload simulation during the construction process. It also offers an efficient environment for analyzing and designing structures within a single model and supports control and analysis in both concrete and steel fields through various analysis options.

Tekla Tedz 2018 introduced a large number of new formulas capable of improving the productivity of civil and structural engineers. This user-friendly software provides a powerful library that allows designers to use various easily reviewable and verifiable formulas pre-written according to code.
