Bentley Systems and Tekla Advance Interoperability of Building Information Modeling Workflows

Bentley Systems, Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to providing comprehensive software solutions for sustaining infrastructure, including structural analysis, design, and documentation software, and Tekla Corporation, a software provider and driver of digital information models to the construction,infrastructure, and energy industries, today announced a joint collaboration to further advance the interoperability of software within Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows. The two companies are improving interoperability between the Tekla Structures BIM software and Bentley’s Integrated Structural Modeling (ISM) methodology.

Once ISM-linked, Tekla Structures will interoperate with all other ISM-enabled software including, to date, Bentley’s STAAD, RAM Concept, RAM Elements, Structural Modeler, ProSteel, and ProConcrete. Tekla Structures links with various other systems through the Tekla Open API™application programming interface that is implemented using Microsoft®.NET technology. 

With ISM, structural practitioners are able to choose the software they need for each project task while benefiting from the efficiencies of data reuse as they participate in multidisciplinary, integrated project workflows. This lets them take full advantage of BIM best practices to reap significant business benefits, and results in intelligent structural designs, more successful projects, and better-performing buildings and structures of all types.
