More Than Just Drawings! Use the Model for Project Management & Automate the Fabrication Process
CNC – Feed Direct Information to Machines in the Shop • You can Automatically create DSTV and DXF file format CNC files from the Tekla Structures model. • CNC files instruct machines in shop where to drill holes, punch holes, cope beams, torch out plates, and what length to saw steel material. • Increases Accuracy and Efficiency in the shop
MIS – Transfer BOM’s electronically • Export KISS, EJE, Fabtrol reports, and Steel2000 files to electronically export/import to Fabrication Management programs • Bill Of Materials match automatically between model and MIS program. Decreases/eliminates manual data entry for Fabricator • Import Fabrication Status Back into Visual Model • Purchase Material Faster!
More Assured Field Fitup
Visually inspect Connections, automatic clash detection and reporting. Not Just Parts, bolt clearance too!
ON HOLD – Showing Critical Information Across the Job
Reference Models – Bring together 2D and 3D reference models to visually overlay information and trace your 3D model.
