“When we need to switch from GNSS technology to conventional (total station) technology, we can copy jobs from one controller to another in the field, and keep going without missing a beat. And we can easily transfer jobs and job files from one field party to another, so that everyone …

"Through the intelligent link between Tekla Structural Designer and Revit, we are able to turn around design changes at a far quicker pace. To put it into real-life terms, whereas a design change may have previously taken us a couple of days to resolve, we are now able to model …

"INPHO software allowed us to produce robust terrain models with virtually no manual interaction, enabling us to produce and manage digital terrains in a cost efficient, standardized and automated manner. eCognition allowed us to concurrently analyze both the digital imagery and terrain models reliably extracting the land‑cover and land-use information …

"We are proud users of Tekla Structures and have been using the software for more than 15 years now. Tekla Model Sharing enabled our team to continue working as efficiently as we had been working from our office. To execute an all-embracing project such as this plant project during the …

"Tedds allows us to consider the torsional properties and inherent eccentricities of structures under extreme conditions, such as an earthquake or hurricane force winds, during the design process. With Tedds we can create custom calculations, perform the calculation we need, document it and present it in a Microsoft Word (MS …

"At Martin/Martin, we work on a variety of commercial projects and specialize in arena and stadium work, defensive design, and construction services. To meet the requirements of such demanding and differing projects, we historically used software packages from multiple vendors. This was difficult to manage as each software package had …

“Based on our experience of working with several geometrically complex bridges, we feel bridges of any complexity or type can be easily handled using Tekla. We see a great futuristic role for Tekla to assist bridge fabrication, to ensure accuracy of geometry during fabrication, using automated fabrication equipment.”

“I believe we were able to significantly cut down on errors by using 3D modeling and certainly improved the quality of building compared to the alternative of designing in a traditional 2D environment. Even though there were truly difficult structures and complex details, I never heard of a single problem …

“In the conceptual design phase, we underwent trial and error to set up the modeling direction of each diagonal steel member. The Double Cone consists of three different circle sizes and the steel members of each have different angles of rotation. We came up with an idea to create a …

“We were able to improve the accuracy with minimised errors by inputting accurate data to each member through Tekla 3D modeling. Tekla contributed to improvement of the detailing quality and kept the model and drawings consistent when changes happened without errors in the fabrication and erection. Tekla is the optimum …

“Prior to incorporating Tekla software within the business, we employed traditional 2D design methods; these were slow and time consuming. We used 2D CAD software for fabrication drawings, which meant that there was no link between GA drawings and individual cast unit drawings, and any alterations made in the general …

“With every new job, we see an evolution in terms of skills and how we use technology. The important part is in learning how different software packages talk to each other, and how they transfer information between each other so that when you go back to the geometry model, you …

“Any time you have curved parts, it is good to use Tekla."

“We used to spend several hours - even several days in a large project - optimizing materials in an Excel file, and it involved plenty of manual calculation. Now we are able to import material data very easily into the optimization tool included in the system, where this is completed …

"As Tekla provides graphical interface for reinforcement placement, customizable bar numbering, accurate bar lengths, variety of material and reinforcement reports and seamless transfer of modeled information to various drawings in shortest time, the reinforcement with different colors and capability to share the model with site team have helped a lot …
