Tekla has released its annual main version of Tekla Structures BIM software. The new version 14 includes several improvements towards more user and environmentally-friendly software. Tekla Structures 14 is already in productive use with many Tekla clients.
In addition to more task-oriented user interface and menus, as well as a more flexible and environmentally-friendly (dongle and shipping-free) licensing system, Tekla Structures 14 includes improved tools for managing and sharing a BIM (Building Information Model) between software users and construction project participants. The software now enables working on models twice as big as before without the risk of running out of memory.
"Tekla is committed to continuous product development and to making Tekla Structures software easier to use and learn," says Tekla Executive Vice President Risto Räty. "We release one main and one intermediate release per year in order to offer our customers the most advanced solution on the market. With Tekla Structures 14 I feel confident to say that Tekla models provide the highest level of constructability on the market."
"The new licensing system is a major step forward in using Tekla Structures in a true collaborative environment," says BIM Coordinator Stuart Bull of Arup, Sydney."We look forward to using the latest version of Tekla Structures whenever a project and the contractor are fully up to utilizing this improved workflow."
