Hello, everyone.
I have made several metal carpentry works with tekla structures (v. 13) which I should now pass to a person using solidworks.

Is that possible?
if yes, at what level of "communication" you get between the two softwares?

in other words, passes the model as a single part or remains divided into the individual parts from which it is composed?

and all the "messa in the table" performed with tekla, what end does it do?

and go through a "third" software, would you solve problems?

I understand that I have asked you questions, but this is a big problem for me to solve.
thanks to all the collaboration
 
pass directly from tekla swx is very difficult (if not impossible). I've tried many times and it's a trouble.
the best step is to export the model to dwg, open it with rhino and export it in step. then it opens quietly the step with solidworks.
the parts are maintained, at least the solid bodies are distinguished. Obviously the model becomes an imported without any reference and the possible changes are limited to those feasible on non-native files.
The table... I'd say she's lost. as I told you in the last year I tried + times but it is really hard... .
 
You were very kind.
having the model divided by parts is already something....it is not the maximum but better than nothing.

thanks and good evening
 
It's been a while but the fateful moment of the passage from tekla to solidworks has come from rhino.
as from your advice I performed the intermediate step to a .dwg file but here were the first problems.
if by expert tekla to .dwg I am required the option if to export for "faces" or "lines". both create an importable file in rhino, but that for "faces" does not pass in "step" format mind instead passes that for "lines".

Is this correct? in solidworks (exporting by lines) lose division by parts?
 
Now I don't have rhino under my hand, I uninstalled it. I can also do a test with autocad mechanical that exports to step and you eat teckla models like drinking a glass of water. I'll try and tell you something tomorrow. I can help you.
 
Thank you.
If instead of switching from rhino, it is better to pass from acd mechanical no problem.....posso get me
 
currently solidworks does not matter building information modeling formats (bim), can only export them.
in addition to the suggestion of king, when you were talking about third-party software, you might ask who needs to receive your file if it can install steelworks or buildworks.
these, after registration, can download and use them for 30 days.
Then you could exchange the files through the standards that tekla supports, such as ifc, cis/2, sdnf and dstv.

but steelworks or buildworks are additional modules of solidworks?
with these modules installed the communication level between tekla and solidworks would improve compared to the passage through the "step" format?
 
the correct word is partner.
are companies that have decided to develop and then sell their absolutely integrated product in solidworks through solidworks customers.
I am not in possession of a remarried solution.
You'll give it to us.
I gave you an alternative route.
evaluate with your interlocutor if to undertake this solution.
 
thanks to the indications :smile:
can you please indicate the link where to download the 2 modules "trial version" of steelworks and buildworks?

I'm evaluating all the possible roads... then your advice is to let go of rhino and go through autocad mechanical?
 
ok thanks, you have explained 3 possible alternatives

1) through rhino
2) through mechanical acad
3) through steelworks or buildworks

At the moment I have no idea if I will try them all, but I will update the discussion also in the event that someone else is facing my own problem
 
hello...I read the discussion by chance...you still need to know how it is possible to pass models from tekla to solidworks?

Let's say yes... in the sense that my client has postponed these experiments of import/export tekla/solidworks to date to be allocated, but the problem sooner or later will return to topicality.
If you had already dealt with the matter, it would be very useful to some "right"

the first experiment failed.
I exported a tekla model in format.dwg loaded later with rhino. the next export in .step is not read by solidworks :frown:
 
x tekla
in the past a concert of tekla models for solidworks and I know for certain that tekla has a converter for step/iges but I do not remember the procedure.
try to contact harpaceas technical assistance that will surely tell you the best way to follow

Thanks bimchecker but I haven't paid tekla assistance for a long time so I can't contact harpaceas.
I no longer updated the discussion because for the moment my client has not raised the problem... but sooner or later the past will come back to persecute me...hehehehe!! . . .
Since you have already experienced the problem, every advice of yours will be useful, even for those who will come after us.
