Stridely Solutions developed a custom Tekla plug-in for a leading power plant manufacturer to streamline the modeling and detailing of chimney exhaust systems. The client, specializing in exhaust stack systems, faced challenges with complex structural components, inefficient manual workflows, and project-specific design requirements. Stridely’s solution automated key design aspects, including inlet and outlet ducts, stiffeners, insulation placement, and transition ducts, improving accuracy and reducing manual effort.
The plug-in leveraged Tekla’s parametric modeling, prefabrication validation, and 4D construction sequencing, enabling seamless coordination between designers, fabricators, and site engineers. As a result, the client experienced faster modeling, reduced fabrication waste, improved installation efficiency, and minimized design errors. This automation significantly enhanced the client’s project turnaround times and manufacturing workflows, reinforcing Stridely Solutions’ expertise in engineering automation through Tekla.
