Past Wednesday Webinars 

Tekla BIM and Project Delivery

Join our live webinar to see a live demonstration of how project team members can work simultaneously in the same building information model.

You will learn how to:

• utilize models from other disciplines such as architects and MEP engineers
• automatically create analysis & design models
• automatically create GA drawings
• detail steel and concrete elements
• manage your project through quantity take offs, planning and control schedules, and 4D simulations
• use the model in the field for two-way exchange of building and construction data

Arup and 3DS – successful collaboration by Tekla BIM

Join our live webinar and learn how Arup and 3DS collaborate utilizing the Tekla BIM concept. CAD manager Jonathan Lock from Arup and managing director Darren Halliwell from 3DS will show how clients, projects and deliverables have benefitted from working closely together in building information modeling. Arup is a global leader in engineering design and 3DS a world leading steelwork engineering company.

Webinar topics:

• Arup and 3DS collaborative process
• Advantages of using Tekla BIM
• Case examples

Extra webinar!
Open BIM Collaboration with ArchiCAD 14 & Tekla Structures

This free, one-hour webcast will demonstrate the power of open design collaboration, using the industry standard platform to exchange building information models between AEC applications, for the entire life-cycle of the building.

The webcast will present the entire workflow through a live application demonstration:

• Exporting the design from ArchiCAD
• Importing the design to Tekla Structures
• Merging the structural model to ArchiCAD
• Tracking changes

Thornton Tomasetti presenting Tekla BIM in Project Delivery

Join our live webinar and learn how Thornton Tomasetti, a global leader in engineering design, integrates Tekla Structures into their Project Delivery process. Vice president Darren Hartman and BIM manager Donald E Beck Jr will present several case studies of how Tekla software has played a major role in Thornton Tomasetti’s deliverables.

Topics:

• BIM process at Thornton Tomasetti
• “Tricks of the trade”
• Case studies, such as the Meadowlands stadium

Collaboration, sustainability & constructability

Join our live webinar and see how Tekla Structures was used throughout “Kirnu”, the Finnish pavilion: a laboratory for sustainable construction and building operation, at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. The pavilions of the 2010 World Expo have provided some unique challenges. As usual with the expo, countries showcase their most innovative architecture. With this year’s “Better City, Better Life” theme, attention has been given to the way in which these pavilions are delivered and perform.

Topics:

• Kirnu pavilion at 2010 World Expo
• Tekla Structures enabling innovative design
