All required installers, settings, and guides are available in the Tekla Warehouse: CORENET X (IFC+SG) Extensions & Tools Collection.
Tekla plugins for IFC+SG
Trimble provides a convenient method of ensuring seamless two-way communication between a detailed BIM model and a robust design model. While this two-way communication ensures that BIM and design deliverables are both in sync and accurate, IFC+SG introduces a new information schema requiring an additional layer of information to be transmitted from Tekla Structural Designer to Tekla Structures for the production of IFC+SG-compliant models.
Trimble has taken the initiative to develop two new plugins that will ensure engineers are ready for IFC+SG within the Tekla ecosystem.
Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) Data Extractor
TSD Data Extractor provides an expedient method of extracting all readily available design data within a TSD model into Excel that is IFC+SG compliant. These data can be easily extracted with just a single button and can be filtered based on the Member Types as well as by levels (slabs and beams only).
Tekla Structures (TS) Attribute Importer
Attribute Importer provides a seamless and robust method of previewing and importing data from an Excel file into TS. Mapping different column names to any editable attribute within Tekla allows users to load the data from any source into TS with ease.
IFC+SG Model Checker (Trimble Connect)
Preparing to submit IFC+SG models into CORENET X can be demanding and time-consuming. Furthermore, today's increasingly complex and modern designs further increase the amount and complexity of collected data.
Recognizing the above, Trimble has developed IFC+SG Model Checker to provide a simplified methodology to ensure no missing or inappropriate data before the submission to CORENET X. This tool leverages Trimble Connect as an Open BIM collaboration platform, enabling users to easily and quickly validate the content of IFC+SG models from any industry recognized BIM authoring platforms such as Tekla Structures, Revit, ArchiCAD and OpenBuildings Designer.
Trimble Connect Model Explorer
Consumers of huge BIM Models often find it challenging to navigate, identify and search for any BIM elements. With that, Trimble is now introducing our lightweight Trimble Connect Model Explorer, which simplifies the navigation of elements within BIM models. Users will be able to search for elements using the search bar quickly, interact with the model in Trimble Connect via the Model Navigation Tree, and parse through all the data available within the same window. In addition, the Model Navigation Tree can be customized at any time to meet user and project requirements.
AC Checker
This specialized tool within the Trimble Connect ecosystem has been developed to help Accredited Checkers optimize CORENET X submissions. It cross-references Excel-based design data with IFC+SG models, automatically identifying discrepancies and validating model properties against external design information. By improving data accuracy and consistency throughout the IFC+SG workflow, AC Checker enables more efficient regulatory compliance and submission preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Does Tekla Structures work with other analysis and design tools?
A: Yes, the Tekla ecosystem works collaboratively with other tools. Data from other Analysis & Design (A&D) solutions can be imported into the native model using the Tekla Structures (TS) Attribute Importer via an Excel file. Additionally, the wider workflow uses Trimble Connect and the IFC+SG Model Checker to validate IFC models generated from other recognized BIM authoring platforms.
Q: Does Tekla Structures work with other analysis and design tools?
A: Yes. Tekla Structures is compatible with a diverse array of file formats, including IFC (Industry Foundation Classes), DWG/DXF, and various proprietary formats from different structural analysis and design software. This compatibility allows users to effortlessly exchange information with other software systems, simplifying the import and export of structural data.
Q: Can I receive training and support for integrating CORENET X with Tekla in Singapore?
A: Yes. Organizations based in Singapore seeking to submit CORENET X utilizing Tekla may benefit from various resources and support services. These encompass comprehensive training, online tools, and local assistance to ensure a smooth and successful integration.
Q: What are the benefits of Tekla 3D modeling for construction projects in Singapore?
A: The integrated Tekla workflow redefines digital submissions for CORENET X by enhancing productivity, reducing manual rework, and ensuring full regulatory compliance. By connecting Tekla Structural Designer, Tekla Structures, and Trimble Connect, the ecosystem allows professionals to build native models where they can easily manage content, extract Bills of Materials, create General Arrangement (GA) drawings, and detail elements with specific reinforcements and connections
Tekla IFC+SG How-to Guides
BIM Tekla How-to Guides is intended as a reference for users who are preparing BIM files for CORENET X submission in IFC+SG. It contains software configuration setup, export settings, and IFC+SG-specific concepts used to map the native information for the applicable IFC+SG export.
It is recommended that users go through the PDF document or watch the video to get an overview of the requirements and understand the importance of preparing an IFC+SG model for submission.
Preparing TEKLA Models for CORENET X Submission
An extraction from CORENET X Code of Practice (COP).
“Preparing Tekla Models for CORENET X Submission" extracts Tekla-specific content from the CORENET X COP. This supplementary resource is tailored to assist Tekla users in efficiently preparing their models with Tekla Structures for CORENET X submission.
The COP offers guidance on multi-agency regulatory submissions and addresses common BIM issues at the project collaboration level. Our book simplifies the process by focusing on Tekla-related procedures, making it an essential tool for Tekla users aligning with the CORENET X Code of Practice.
