Graphisoft and Tekla team up for best-in-class AEC workflow
Graphisoft and Tekla announce a global partnership to offer a best-in-class software solution for architecture and structural engineering practices. Workflow-level integration of ArchiCAD and Tekla Structures software enables true BIM collaboration between the AEC disciplines
For more than 20 years, Graphisoft and Tekla have been dedicated to offer best-in-class BIM (Building Information Modeling) software in their respective fields of architecture and structural engineering. This offering is unique on the market. BIM as a way of working has been adapted by more and more practices of the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) disciplines in the recent years. Model-based collaboration of the different disciplines, however, is still rather immature even between design practices that use software solutions from the same vendor.
"The real issue with the integration is not file compatibility but workflow compatibility," says Viktor Várkonyi, Chief Executive Officer at GRAPHISOFT. "Opening each other's files is by far not enough - handling each other's model in an intelligent way is what makes a real BIM collaboration workflow productive."
"Tekla Structures and ArchiCAD cover the entire design and documentation workflow till the end of a construction project," says Risto Räty, Executive Vice President of Tekla Corporation. "Together they support the BIM process in a unique way and are thus the preferred partners that ensure the highest-quality end result in any project. The benefit of using these tools is above all the downstream constructability they offer from conceptual design to erection and site management."
