New Versions of Tekla Structural
Designer and Tekla Tedds Enable Comprehensive Design-to-detail
Workflow
WESTMINSTER, Colo., March 12,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble® (Nasdaq:
TRMB) announced today the 2025 versions of Tekla®
Structural Designer, its structural analysis and 3D design software
for multimaterial buildings, and Tekla
Tedds, its automated civil and structural analysis
calculation software. With several significant updates, both
products offer an enhanced user experience and expanded design
capabilities for an optimized design collaboration experience.
Tekla Structural Designer 2025 and Tekla
Tedds 2025 help create connected workflows to facilitate
seamless design collaboration between various software solutions
like Trimble SketchUp®, Autodesk®
Revit® and Tekla Structures. These integrations allow
structural engineers to reuse information and share and analyze
models more efficiently to enhance the engineer's productivity and
accuracy.
Connected Ecosystems for Confidence in
Workflows
Models created in Trimble SketchUp can now serve
as reference models within Tekla Structural Designer, further
strengthening the architect-to-structural engineer collaborative
workflow. In addition, Trimble enhanced the integration of Tekla
Structural Designer with Autodesk Revit, allowing for a smooth
bidirectional transition of models between Revit and Tekla
Structural Designer. The Tekla Structural Designer Integrator for
Revit 2025 includes improved connectivity rules, additional profile
families for the UK and USA
markets, and enhanced analytical model creation for more accurate
and connected models.
Comprehensive Design-to-Detail Workflow
Through an
enhanced connected workflow between Tekla Structures and Tekla
Structural Designer, BIM modelers and structural engineers can
efficiently share model information for the analysis of steel
structures. This seamless data transfer reduces errors in the
design process and facilitates a comprehensive design-to-detail
workflow to improve collaboration between architects and
engineers.
Tekla Structural Designer 2025 also features an easier way for
mapping user-defined attributes (UDA) between Tekla Structural
Designer and Tekla Structures, which includes data on critical
design values under fire conditions, to address the growing
importance of fire safety in structural design. An improved
integration with IDEA StatiCa® structural analysis
software further streamlines the connection design process,
facilitating detailed connection design within the Tekla
environment.
"Trimble supports its customers in their quest to collaborate,
construct and deliver with confidence," said David Sanderson, product manager, Tekla
Structural Designer and Tekla Tedds
at Trimble. "The enhancements in the 2025 versions of Tekla
Structural Designer and Tekla Tedds
streamline the design process by bridging the worlds of
architecture and engineering, supporting teamwork around shared
design data while ensuring maximum productivity."
Tekla Tedds Calculations Library Updates
Trimble
values keeping its software libraries and design codes up to date,
ensuring that engineers have access to the latest design standards.
Therefore, the extensive library of calculations in Tekla Tedds has been updated to incorporate the
latest North American Loading and Steel Design codes (ASCE7-22 and
AISC360-22). Tekla Tedds has also
introduced new temporary works calculations for Outrigger loading
design (EN1997/TWf) and Crane wind loading assessment (BS ISO
4302).
Design Solutions: Rapid Carbon Assessments
Tekla Structural Designer 2025 offers a new integration with
Structural PANDA, allowing UK-based structural engineers to perform
rapid carbon assessments during the preliminary design stage. The
tool generates a wide range of structural design solutions from
initial concepts, helping engineers optimize building designs based
on various criteria, including carbon footprint and cost. The Tekla
Structural Designer integration facilitates easy import of these
preliminary schemes for more detailed design within Tekla
Structural Designer.
Design Solutions: Podium Structures Made Easier
To
provide a comprehensive design solution for podium structures
in North America, the masonry
design in Tekla Structural Designer 2025 has been further enhanced.
Utilizing a unique finite element approach for designing masonry
walls, this update now includes wall edge releases and improved
reinforcement handling, making it even easier for engineers to
design masonry structures.
Regional Expansion
The addition of a new Mexican
environment to the selection of regional settings expands the
usability of Tekla Structural Designer 2025 to regions using US
codes with metric units.
AI-Powered Trimble Assistant for Tekla
The new
AI-powered Trimble Assistant for Tekla is available as a web app in
Tekla User Assistance. It provides accurate and concise answers to
users' questions on Tekla products — Tekla Structures, Tekla
Structural Designer, Tekla Tedds or
Tekla PowerFab — by using the Tekla User Assistance knowledge
base.
In-Product Notifications
New in-product notification
panes in both Tekla Structural Designer and Tekla Tedds alert users to information about
product updates and bulletins.
Availability
Tekla Structural Designer and
Tekla Tedds 2025 will be available
at: download.tekla.com from March 12th,
2025.
