US: Trimble has unveiled a new version of Tekla Structural Designer software. The update allows structural engineers to analyze and design steel and concrete buildings efficiently by combining analysis and design into a single, seamless process. Building on its sophisticated loading and analysis functionality, fully automated design, high-quality documentation and seamless BIM collaboration, the software delivers new features for more efficient and cost effective building design. "This new release is a significant update after the initial launch of Tekla Structural Designer earlier this year, further automating structural analysis and design to save time, allowing engineers to gain complete confidence in their design decisions," said Barry Chapman, Director of engineering for Trimble's Structures Division.
