Tekla Structures 13, the latest version of Teklas building information modeling software, is here. Take a moment to find out whats new and what has been improved! Heres a short overview of the new features and benefits:

Faster modeling tools: copyingYou can now model even faster than before: create multiple copies in one go and move objects by simply picking out the origin and as many destination points you want.

Examples of better modeling performance

Faster modeling tools: reinforcing bar splitting You can split the reinforcing bar groups to detail reinforcements more efficiently.

Improved component technologyWe have developed the custom components technology to make the components faster and easier for everyone to use.

WHATS nEW

New drawing listThe new drawing list makes the browsing and sorting of drawings quicker and more user-friendly.

Examples of better drawings

Improved componentsThere are several improved components available in Tekla Structures 13.

Improved componenttechnology: password protectionThe custom components include password protection to ensure that users can protect the components they have developed.

Reaction and appearanceIntelligent drawings open faster and react to model changes more automatically. They also provide clearer graphic information about changes.

Greater flexibility of GA appearanceThe General Arrangement (GA) drawings now have automatic dimensioning and fully customizable view labels as well as section and detail symbols.

Assembly drawingsThe assembly drawings work faster than before and contain more automatically created information: associative tags that support the dimensioning of parts and plate side marks.

Cast unit drawingsThe cast unit drawings are now quicker to produce, and you can modify the appearance according to your own purposes.

WHATS nEW

Better model information: IFC 2x3 supportTekla Structures 13 is IFC 2x3 certified and supports the interoperability with IFC 2x3 compliant architectural software, such as Allplan, ADT, ArchiCAD, Bentley Architecture and Revit.

Improved multi-user functionality:see who is onlineAdvanced multi-user management allows you to see the status of the other project team members.

Examples of better communication of model information

Reference model improvement:support for filtering It is now quicker to select filters for reference models, and easier to find the relevant objects that you are looking for.

Improved communication with steel fabricationMaterial information system exports now support sequencing. The plate nesting has new options. The DSTV files have been improved.

Improved integration with precast manufacturingTekla Structures integrates with production control and automation systems, such as ELiPLAn ERP, inetto and Unitechnik. It can write and update a data file and read in its status and dates.

Visualizing project progressThe 4D feature now included in Tekla Structures configurations lets you visualize project progress.
