What’s New For Modeling
Bent Plate
Bent Plate
All new bent plate feature Easily model miscellaneous plate
work and complex connections– multiple & non-parallel bends– ‘box’ unfolding supported
Simple yet powerful Model the part faces Join with bends Control the bend radius Unfold in drawings and CNC
Bent Plate
Gussets Clips & cleats Folded steps Spiral plate stringers Cold formed profiles
Bent Plate
Chutes Ducting Transitions
Bent Plate
Powerful yet intuitive modeling
Modify flat geometry– Change basic shape with direct modification
– Chamfer corners even along the bend
Modify bends– Set radius
– Control taper or directly edit landing points
– Remove bends
Improved bend edge calculation– Unfolds to a straight line along landing points
Bent plate example

Modeling Extensions
Spiral staircase
Create spiral staircases Items or plates for steps Column or double stringers
Spiral staircase
Stringer done with bent plate, can be unfolded Dynamic layout a spiral staircase Live update when create/modify Modern UI Easy to use
Spiral staircase
Curved Stanchion
Updated to work with this Stair Extension
Complex Polybeams
Create curved beams easily– Ellipses– Helicoidal – Import data from a file– Aids in the layout of complex geometry such
as stadium seats, architectural steel, stair cases
Complex Polybeams
Multi Converter
Export objects to : IFC, STEP, IGES, OBJ and STL STEP/IGES now include:
– Bolt Holes– Straight pipe/tubes won’t be segmented
Supports Workflow– Pipe bending (Handrail)– Point cloud comparison
Knows Issues– Polybeams won’t have holes– Polybeam round tubes still segmented
Multi Converter
Reports Side Pane
Easy way to create and manage reports from the side pane– Create multiple reports at the same time– Search and filter reports easily– Organize reports in folders
Hide or unhide reports Set output path for reports Options to define report name and use a
different external viewer
Reports Side Pane
Model Annotations
Share information in the model view
– Dimensions
– Associative notes
– Text
Model Annotations
NC File Updater
NC File Updater - manipulates contour lines and pop marks
Crane capacity check
Ensure lifting according to crane lifting capacity
Visualize utilization ratio and failed assemblies
Assign assemblies to crane(s)
Use information in lifting reports
Example
Crane location and capacity chart drawn with temporary graphics
Visual object check based on selected objects.
Utilization rate for optimizing correct crane type and location
Report of passed/failed
Load crane capacity charts from Tekla
Warehouse
Define capacity chart to the table
Crane Capacity Check
Specialized industries
Metal Framing PEB Transmission Towers
Project Management
Organizer
Grouping - colorization
Interoperability
Enhanced BIM collaboration – base point
Smooth workflow between architects, MEP designers, civil engineers and structural engineer.
– Communicate with design team using project basepoint(s)
– For export of IFC files
– For import of reference files
IFC Change Management
Detect changes to incoming 3d models
– Reads files from Revit, ArchiCAD, AllPlan, Tekla, Sketchup etc
Improved in 2017:
– Easier to control what’s compared
– Better version management
– Faster item conversion for complex geometries
Working closer with architects
New link between Grasshopper and Tekla allows engineers to realize the architects vision
Exeter University Forum, United KingdomSH Structures Ltd
Integration with Plant design systems
Improved Interoperability with AVEVA PDMS/E3D
Improved workflow with Aveva PDMS/E3D
Support for PDMS/E3D hierarchy structure
Deleted members marked red on import, and placed in own hierarchy
Providing better structured information for the piping team
Interoperability with Integraph Smart3D
Native structural frame for piping team to co-ordinate against
Piping referencemodel for structural team and nativestructural parts as required
Better management of information transfer
Used Smart3D plugin
CIS/2+ and DGN based link
Latest updates includes
– Updated mapping files for US imperial & metric profiles
– Fix to ensure members with offsets are correctly imported
CADMATIC

Tekla Structures 2016
Bentley ISM 2.0
Better workflow and information transfer between Tekla Structures and ISM compatible software.
ISM 2.0 link
– physical and analytical model
– loads and results
ISM 2.0 phase II
– User defined attributes
– Better support for curved members
– Rebar transfer for rectangular beams and columns
