Tackling Your Precast BIM Pain Points with Tekla Structures-PCI Tekla BIM Pain Points Course Handout

PCI Tekla BIM Pain Points Course Handout

Pdf Summary

This document provides some instructions and learning objectives for a presentation on tackling precast BIM pain points using Tekla Structures and Trimble Connect. The presenter is Jon Recknagel, a Precast Application Specialist from Trimble. The learning objectives include improving processing times for large models, utilizing deformed shapes in the model while showing undamaged shapes on production drawings, producing automated piece drawings, intelligent recognition of boundaries for rebar and connections, modeling entire floor systems and wall panel elevations, customization of Tekla tools, and collaboration through sharing the model with project stakeholders via Trimble Connect and Tekla Model Sharing. The presentation also showcases a project by Clark Pacific called Stanford Escondido Village Graduate Housing, which involved over 1.8 million square feet of building space and 14,500+ precast panels. The presentation highlights the speed, warp, camber, automated piece drawings, intelligent rebar and connections, entire systems approach, customization, and collaboration aspects of using Tekla Structures and Trimble Connect. It explains how these tools can improve efficiency and decision-making in precast construction projects. The presentation concludes with a question and answer session and a thank-you message.
