Embodied carbon - New reporting for piles and distribution by level Improvements to Workflow - New Properties Window Validation and Tooltips Tekla Structural Designer 2021 SP2 release notes

This update includes a number of enhancements and issue resolutions.

Trimble launched Tekla Structural Designer 2021 SP2 (version 21.2.0.58).

Regardless of project size or complexity, Tekla Structural Designer's fully automated, productivity-enhancing capabilities enable engineering firms to improve operations, successfully bid more projects and enhance client service. Round tripping The process of bringing model information back into the originating application from the external application and potentially repeating the export/import process several times.Revit© → TSD Starting in Revit© (the originating application) and exporting to TSD using the Tekla Integrator, then importing into TSD (via BIM Integration > Structural BIM Import).TSD → Revit© Starting in TSD (the originating application) and exporting to Revit (via BIM Integration > Autodesk Revit Export), then importing into Revit using the Revit Integrator.The following terminology will be used to describe the updated workflow: From TSD 2020 onwards the precast Fabrication type is now added to the CXL file for members.ġ - Improvements have been made to the workflow between Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) and Revit© for precast members.Tekla Structural Designer delivers powerful features for optimizing concrete and steel design, including the ability to quickly compare alternative design schemes, efficiently manage changes and collaborate seamlessly.

Precast rectangular beams and columns are now mapped to Precast Revit Materials and Families.Round tripping of rectangular precast sections (structural framing and structural columns) is supported. The analytical properties of the analysis elements can then be reviewed and edited as required in the TSD model.The sections are imported into TSD as analysis elements (with the default analysis element properties).On export from Revit, the Export Name is set = Analysis Element in the Revit Integrator - this mapping can then be saved.Revit → TSD unmapped precast members (beams & columns) can now be exported as analysis elements from Revit.Round tripping of the TSD precast beam types of T, L, Inverted T and Inverted L (available in TSD 2020 onwards).
