IN PRECAST CONCRETE DESIGN AND DETAILING


a Tekla Structures is the rst real parametric 3D structural Building Information Modelling (BIM) software solution for precast concrete designers and producers. This unique modelling and detailing solution integrates the entire structural workow from sales and conceptual design to detailing, manufacture and erection.

FASTER BETTER MORE COMPETITIVE

Make the leap from 2D drafting to 3D Building Information Modelling and enjoy increased efciency and productivity, higher quality and greater protability.

Capable of handling any size model from small to very large

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES


Create dynamic sales models and pricing
Fast, intelligent modelling lets you create several alternatives with accurate cost estimates Efcient optimisation of structural solutions Fascinating visualisation capabilities create powerful sales presentations Dening your own connections Customisable solution
When the library components are not enough, create details simply by changing the dimensions of parametrically dened pieces and connections.

Preliminary design and engineering


Consistent drawings, reports and other documents, because the model contains all of the structural information Fully object-based parametric modelling allows you to design in a true 3D environment Drawing objects are associated with model objects, which means less editing and more time saved Manage the model and the project as a whole not as an aggregate of potentially non-matching individual pieces Unlimited options for viewing your design in real-time regardless of the size or complexity of your product.

Faster and more accurate detailing


Let the automated features take care of routine work like drawing production, leaving you free to focus on the essential design decisions Flexible libraries of connections, reinforcements and cast-in embedments allow you to instantly apply accurate details to any design Efciently model and store your companys specic connections, details and drawing templates, and re-use them on all projects

Manage change with ease


Costly errors are minimized through superior change management All related components react to a change drawings and documentation are updated automatically Automated clash checking efciently exposes conicts Adaptive reinforcements and connections
Automatically attach to parts and follow all changes made to the part whenever it is revised.

Improve the ow of information from sales to erection


Consistent utilisation of information you input information only once Information is accumulative and accessible by everyone All changes are reected in the output, eliminating the duplication of data, mistakes and human errors Multi-user capabilities enable fast, efcient throughput and uent collaboration with other parties involved in the project

Integrate sales and erection with your design and detailing


Get production management and casting data (NC) directly from the model Fully integrated drawing production ensures that everything ts together on the construction site Open and customisable solution to support production needs

Automate your routine tasks, focus on design


Fully associative drawings and documents (e.g. bill of materials, BOM and bending schedules) are extracted from the model whenever needed.

BENEFITS
Reduce your lead times from sales to erection
Make late changes with ease
When changes occur, Tekla Structures automatically keeps the model and drawings consistent.

Extremely powerful modelling guarantees greater speed and efciency Automated routine tasks and documents, allowing you to focus on the essential design decisions

Enhance the efciency of your workow


Integrate design and detailing with the rest of your operations Interoperability improves overall efciency Easy coordination of precast concrete with other building systems

Improve the quality of your design work


All structural design work is mastered within one model Accurate geometry Eliminate detailing errors intelligent modelling ensures model consistency whenever changes are made

Win more competitive tenders


Powerful visualisation, accurate cost estimates and BOM reduce risk when responding to tender offers Greater speed of modelling allows for alternative tender solutions Easier than 2D drafting - you can start modelling quickly.
Get immediate results while generating sound return on your investment. Over time, your efciency and productivity will exponentially augment the benets of modelling in Tekla Structures.

Maximise your productivity


More efcient overall process improves project cycle time Reduced costs attributed to detailing errors Capitalise on your increased efciency to cultivate new business opportunities

Structural Building Information Modelling

WE COULDNT HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER

The much-anticipated Precast Concrete Software Consortium evaluation of the nal Tekla Structures release is now underway. We believe the era of Building Information Modelling for the precast industry is very nearly at hand! There is a growing awareness that the benets of error reduction, productivity gain, and market responsiveness, through seamless data exchange and automation, will soon accrue to industry implementers of the Tekla Structures for precast 3D parametric modelling platform. I am proud to have served with the hard-working Consortium members and our professional and responsive Tekla partners. The PCSC was formed in 2001 as the voice of the North American precast industry.

a Tekla Structures is revolutionizing the design and implementation

methods for the precast concrete industry. At Finnmap, the high speed of modelling this affords has enhanced design work, in particular during the sketching and tendering phases. We have been able to model several alternative solutions for our customers, and provide visualizations and material quantity estimates. Without Tekla Structures and its 4D design feature, it would have been impossible to optimise the selection of the right structural solutions, installation methods and routes, and ensure the management of a building throughout its lifecycle.
Tage Eriksson, M.Sc.(Eng.), CEO Finnmap Consulting Oy, Finland www.nnmapcons.

a We are leading the way in the jump from traditional 2D drawings

to 3D modelling in the precast concrete industry. The adoption of Tekla Structures has allowed us to closely collaborate with the other project design team disciplines and eliminate any potential clashes and errors before we even think about site deliveries, saving us time and money. The software allows us to model each individual panel and produce all the required drawings, material reports and schedules. In the near future we intend to link the software to our factory bar bending and laser systems, allowing us even further nancial and timesaving gains.
Chris ODea, Technical Director Techrete Ltd. UK & Ireland www.techrete.com

a Since 2003, Tekla Structures has improved our way of working in

precast concrete design. We have been constantly amazed by all of the new functionality and reliable customer support that Tekla provides. Tekla Structures built-in intelligence automatically modies all input, therefore eliminating mistakes. Our clients are also astonished by the performance of initial drawing production and the well-dened visual presentations.
