Carbon and BIM Workflow

The BIM workflow, collaborating and sharing building information from the beginning, is the foundation for efficient and productive project execution. Tekla Structures Carbon is the best model-based solution to plan, track and manage all of your detailing, fabrication and erection activities. 

With Carbon, you're connected to the project together with the rest of the team members who are working on the same 3D model simultaneously, regardless of their location or discipline.

Tekla Structures Carbon configuration allows any construction oriented business to control all aspects of their processes from within a powerful building information model environment in a user friendly manner. Companies can access complete, construction-level data at a fraction of the costs usually associated with BIM.

Project meetings take on a whole new dimension when utilizing a model. No more thumbing through reams of drawings to identify problem areas. Simply highlight and identify the area within the visual 3D model. Time is saved and communication is clear.

WITH CARBON YOU CAN:

• Check complete model and drawings
• Print drawings as PDF documents
• Create data files (CNC) for fabrication
• Export drawings to DXF and DWG formats
• Check and manage clashes
• Add User Defined Attributes (UDAs) to model objects for project planning & tracking:
  •  Detailing/Fabrication/Erection Process
  • Phasing, lotting and sequencing
  • 4D Project Status Visualization

EFFICIENT WORK

• Create and print reports.
• View the full model and reference models.
• Colorize the model by attributes.
• Inquire object information such as material, length or weight.
• Export to rebar manufacturing systems.
• Export to precast manufacturing systems.
