Utilize BIM strengths in early planning with conceptual designUtilize BIM strengths in early planning with conceptual design

Design with confidence and ensure quality with parametric BIM

Re-use design intent data and model quicker and easier with different materials and outstanding components. Create company-specific standards without programming skills. What's more, you can use Tekla Warehouse components, add-ons and the industry suppliers' product libraries.

Save time by automatically managing revisions

Automatically update all necessary data and have your deliverables always up to date. With model-based revision management, you see what has changed and why.

Use intelligent tools to create high-quality documentation

Work with the best possible templates and intelligent tools to create documentation faster. Automate e.g. the way you present your drawings.

Create reliable object-based information early in the project

Object management facilitates reports and generates smarter calculation documents. The detailed 3D model's object data is the basis and enables automation life cycle analysis, as well as time and resource calculations.

Optimize your model early and generate a more sustainable project

Use the conceptual design model to automate your design. Take advantage of the code-compatible design e.g. with Eurocodes through the seamless connection to Tekla Structural Designer. Design and optimize the core regardless of the construction material.

Parametric design can offer many benefits to structural engineers

Data driven design: The new normal?

The parametric design offers many benefits to structural engineers, from the automation of repetitive tasks to allowing engineers to use more time to be creative and push the boundaries of structural design. It also enables otherwise challenging structures, such as complex building facades, to be modeled at a far faster rate.
