Precast concrete detailing 



Tekla Structures, Precast Concrete Detailing is a standard configuration enhanced with relevant precast detailing functionality. Users can create detailed 3D models of concrete structures and then generate corresponding fabrication and erection information shared by all project participants.

The modelling function allows users to

  • View Tekla Structures models (all materials and profiles)
  • Create and modify grids
  • Model parts and bolts (regardless of building material)
  • Create welds
  • Add loads to a model
  • Model reinforcements
  • Create assemblies of steel parts
  • Create cast units of concrete parts
  • Create levels of assembly hierarchy
  • Create conceptual connections (no workshop output)
  • Create detailed concrete connections
  • Create automatic preset connections to multiple parts
  • Create erection sequences
  • View model information in 4D (simulated schedule)
  • Mark/number parts automatically

The workflow functions allow users to

  • Manage process information of individual building components
  • Create your own breakdown structures (WBS) more easily and quickly easier and faster
  • Manage clash checks better and faster than before

The output function allows users to

  • Create cast in-situ concrete reinforcement drawings with bending schedules
  • Customise drawing title blocks and reports
  • Create general arrangement drawings (plan, section, erection)
  • Create cast-unit drawings (precast concrete)
  • Print and plot drawings and reports
  • Create reports (assembly lists, part lists)
  • Create reinforcement reports (bending schedules, weights, amounts)

The collaboration properties allow users to

  • Work simultaneously on the same model with several users
  • Interface with other tools and disciplines
  • View Tekla models with an Internet browser
  • Exchange data with production management systems (ELiPLAN, Betsy).
  • Export data to production automation machinery (Unitechnik, BVBS).
  • Import external/export data via links (FEM, SDNF, XML)
  • Import and export data via IFC 2x2, 2x3 and Tekla Open API™
  • Data exchange interface with Analysis and Design software
  • Import and export graphic 2D and 3D data (DXF, DGN, DWG)

Tekla Structures Primary has all functionalities of the full configuration but is limited to 2500 parts excluding bolts and 5000 reinforcement bars or bar groups.
