Tekla, a Trimble company specialising in model-based software products, has introduced Tekla Structures 21, the latest version of its Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for the engineering and construction markets.

The new version improves industrial and commercial construction project workflows across construction disciplines, delivering benefits to structural steel and precast concrete designers, detailers and fabricators, concrete and general contractors, and enhanced collaboration with Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) and plant design engineers, architects and others.

In conjunction with Tekla Structures 21, Tekla is also launching two new and unique services, Tekla Model Sharing and Tekla Warehouse.

“After a decade in use, Tekla Structures continues to further the evolution of BIM from an experimental to an essential part of designing, engineering and building all types of buildings and structures,” said Risto Räty, executive vice president, deputy CEO of Tekla and general manager of Trimble Buildings Structures Division.

“Tekla Structures 21 reduces the time between concept and construction by enabling more advanced project team collaboration and productivity, enabling free flowing communication between all project stakeholders. The end result is the efficient design and building of better structures,” added Räty. – TradeArabia News Service
