Make your steel frame projects more profitable with model-based workflow

Finding one solution to manage detailing, fabrication and construction of steel framing projects can be challenging. The foundation for a successful project is a highly accurate, data-rich, multi-material model that can be utilized throughout the whole workflow and easily used for coordination with other project parties.

With Tekla Structures, you can create a constructible BIM model that includes all the relevant information right up to the fabrication and erection phase. You can easily achieve considerable savings in time and cut costs by,

  • precise detailing
  • automated drawing production
  • output to light metal framing machinery and
  • enabling efficient, right-first-time installation of elements on-site

Using our technology you can make your steel frame projects more profitable by reducing time in modeling by using dedicated components to model frame panels, straight or curved panels and ceilings. With improved model accuracy and communication with other project parties, you can greatly reduce errors in fabrication and erection.
