    How to open/view the ProStructures' file in Tekla structures

      Product(s): ProStructures 
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Environment: N/A
      Area: Interoperability 
      Subarea: N/A

    Problem

    In this wiki, we will learn how to open and view the file created in the ProStructures in Tekla. This interoperability can be achieved by the IFC export-import. Please refer to the steps below to achieve this interoperability.

    Solution

    1. Open the model i.e. dgn file in the ProStructures CONNECT Edition.

    2. Now, export the file to IFC by navigating to File>Export>ProStructures File type> IFC.

    3. Once, IFC is created then import the IFC reference in Tekla.
    4. Open a Tekla Structures model where you want to insert the IFC reference model.
    5. Go to the File menu and select Import > Insert reference model.

    In this way by the export and import, once can open the dgn file in the Tekla Structure.

    For more information please refer to the link below:
    Insert IFC models as reference models

    Also, you can convert the IFC models to native Tekla elements which can be referred below:
