New Bridge extension solves Common Design Challenges

Trimble recently introduced Tekla Bridge Creator, a new extension for Tekla Structures Building Information Model (BIM) software that integrates the complete bridge design workflow from design geometry to constructible modelling and detailing. This new solution expands upon Trimble’s Constructible Process, an innovative approach for enabling the digital transformation of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) workflows.

By adding the Bridge Creator extension, Tekla Structures can create and utilize Bridge Information Models (BrIM) from conceptual design Level of Development (LOD 100) to truly accurate, fabrication-ready (LOD 400) and as-built constructible models (LOD 500). The LOD specification is a reference that enables practitioners in the AEC industry to specify and articulate with a high level of clarity the content and reliability of BIM at various stages in the design and construction process.
