The Dlubal programs RFEM and RSTAB have an integrated interface with Tekla Structures. It enables you to directly exchange data between the structural analysis and CAD programs. Basically, the following procedures are possible:
- In Tekla Structures, an analytical model is created and, if necessary, supplemented with loads. The complete model is transferred to RFEM/RSTAB where it is adjusted (adding supports, loads, combinations of load cases, etc.). After the design and optimization of objects, the completed structural analysis is available. The changes can also be synchronized with the Tekla model in an update process.
- In Tekla Structures, an analytical model is created. An extracted substructure is transferred to RFEM/RSTAB where supports, loads, combinations, etc. are added. After the design and optimization of the objects, the structural analysis is complete. The modifications can also be aligned with the Tekla model in an update process.
On our Website, you will find general explanations concerning the data exchange with Tekla Structures. There is also a PDF document available in which you can find more information on the Tekla interface.
Additionnally, a Knowledge Base Article i.a. presents some functions for BIM-oriented work with Tekla Structures.
