The new non-linear concrete slab design feature in Tekla Structural Designer 2018 automates loading simulation through construction.
simulation through construction to help save engineering design time. In addition, enhanced analysis options for concrete and steel speed design cycles for complex structural elements. The new version also supports Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish annexes to the Eurocodes. Tekla Tedds 2018 introduces a variety of new calculations that enable improved productivity for civil and structural engineers. The software offers a quality assured library of code-compliant calculations that are visible for review and validation. In addition to the three new software versions, Trimble is also launch- ing Tekla Developer Center. The new online hub for all Tekla OpenAPI information supports the application developer community, advancing their opportunities to benefit from the customizability of Tekla Struc- tures and demonstrating an open approach to BIM and construction collaboration.

Trimble introduces Tekla 2018 BIM software solutions Trimble introduced three new versions of its software for structural engineering, fabrication, and construction teams — Tekla Structures 2018, Tekla Structural Designer 2018, and Tekla Tedds 2018. These so- lutions provide increased control and improved documentation through constructible BIM workflows for stakeholders in structural steel and concrete, including designers, detailers and fabricators, concrete con- tractors, general contractors, and structural engineers. Tekla Structures 2018 brings faster 3D modeling processes, more pre- cise detailing, better control over changes, and quicker production of drawings with less effort, in addition to workflow-related efficiency gains, the company said. The new version also supports point clouds, allowing delivery of coordinated, constructible designs that fit existing structures seamlessly. The improvements in drawings include quicker drawing production with less effort and reviewing and adding content faster. The collaborative workflow from design and analysis to detail- ing and fabrication is smoother than before, regardless of structural material. Tekla Structural Designer 2018 delivers new features and enhance- ments focused on structural design workflow productivity. For exam- ple, the new non-linear concrete slab design feature automates loading
