Tekla Structures to IDEA StatiCa workflow

About the Tekla Structures plugin

You can model connections in your CAD, export the connection directly to IDEA StatiCa from within Tekla Structures, apply the loads to the connection, and then code-check your connection. All beams, cross-sections, and operations (bolts, holes, welds, and cuts) are also completely synchronized if the Tekla Structures model changes. IDEA StatiCa and Tekla Structures give you an efficient workflow for your structural steel design that saves time, minimizes errors, helps with optimization, and makes the data available to your colleagues or subcontractors doing detailing and fabrication.

The BIM link is managed by IDEA StatiCa Checkbot – an application for the management of BIM workflows. This means you can:

Export and synchronize connections and members easily

Have complete control over all of your imported connections and members

See a clear list of all imported items including status checked/not-checked

Create a 3D visualization of imported members

See a conversion table for materials and cross-sections
