Tekla Structures 15 BIM (Building Information Modeling) software has earned the Windows 7 logo.
Tekla has been a forerunner in information technology since the 1960s, specializing in virtual databases since late 1980s and in 3D building information modeling since the 1990s, building its software architecture on the Microsoft Corp. technology platform. Thus it is no surprise that the company has announced compatibility with Windows 7, which will be launched October 22, 2009. Tekla users and prospects updating to Windows 7 can rest assured that the latest version 15 of Tekla Structures is compatible.
"Tekla is strongly committed to software compatibility, interoperability, and standardization," says
Risto Räty, Executive Vice President of Tekla Corporation. "To assure our software users - structural engineers, contractors, detailers and fabricators - that their construction projects can be executed efficiently, we want to offer them not only a chance to coordinate their various building systems with Tekla but also a version that works with the latest and greatest Windows operating system, especially now that we provide free Internet tools for model reviewing."
"By earning the Compatible with Windows 7 logo, we have confidence on the performance of Tekla Structures 15 on Windows 7-based computers," says Kim Nyberg, Director of Technology at Tekla. "Earning the logo is no easy task. Software publishers need to adhere to strict technical requirements and to have their solutions pass a series of quality tests. The presence of the compatibility logo on Tekla Structures is a guarantee that our customers will be able to use it with Windows 7."
