1. Customized Reports

We, at ATLAS STEEL DETAILING (ASD), make use of the “Tekla Report Pack” which consists of 5 Excel-based reports to provide you with a professional set of reports to reflect the quality of your services.

The set consists of the following:

• Assembly List
• Material List
• Bolt List
• Erection Bolt List
• Drawing List

1. Templates

Tekla Structures includes a large number of standard templates that can be used based on the client’s requirements. These templates are descriptions of forms and tables that are either graphical or textual. Graphical templates are inserted in drawing layouts as tables, text blocks, and drawing headers, for example. Textual templates are used for creating reports. The contents of the template fields are filled in by Tekla Structures at run time.

1. NC Files

NC data or Numerical Control Data is a file format used by CAM Machines to drill, cut, and punch steel. The NC file contains information about hole position and sizes, cut length, material grade, profile type, notch sizes and positions, etc. NC data significantly speed up the fabrication process

The files are capable of being exported in Tekla Structures. After exporting NC files, part length, hole, and notch sizes, and positions are transformed into sets of coordinates that the CNC machines use to fabricate the element. By default, NC files are created in DSTV format, but they can be converted to DXF format, generally needed for plates.
