Tekla Structures - SAP2000 14 component 1.52

Tekla Structures – SAP2000 14 component
Developer: Tekla Corporation

Description:
The Tekla Structures – SAP2000 14 component is an integration tool that connects Tekla Structures with SAP2000 version 14 (by Computers and Structures, Inc.). It streamlines the exchange of structural models between BIM/detailing and analysis/design, helping engineers and detailers move geometry, properties, and loads with less manual rework and fewer coordination errors.

Key capabilities:

• Data exchange between platforms: transfer structural geometry, member types, supports/boundary conditions, section profiles, and material grades from Tekla Structures to SAP2000 14.
• Load information: export selected load cases and basic load assignments to support downstream analysis.
• Mapping and consistency: user-configurable mapping for profiles, materials, and units to align naming conventions; preserves identifiers to help track and update objects across iterations.
• Synchronization workflow: tools to compare changes and update models to reduce re-modeling during design revisions.
• Validation and reporting: feedback on transferred content and any unsupported objects to ensure a reliable handoff.

Benefits:

• Faster analysis iterations from a coordinated BIM model.
• Reduced manual data entry and lower risk of transcription errors.
• Clearer change management between detailing and analysis teams.

Typical use:

• Generate an analysis-ready model in SAP2000 14 from a Tekla Structures project.
• Iterate design changes in SAP2000 and bring updates back to maintain consistency with the BIM model (subject to the scope supported by the link and mapping settings).

Requirements:

• Tekla Structures (compatible version) and SAP2000 14 installed with valid licenses on a supported Windows environment.
• Appropriate section/material libraries and mapping tables configured for your regional standards.

Note: SAP2000 is a product of Computers and Structures, Inc. Compatibility and supported data types may vary by software version and project setup.
