How to convert Tekla Structures (Tekla) to OrcaFlex (.yml,sim,.owr)?


PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

     

Tekla Structures

Tekla Structures is 'Building Information Modeling' (BIM) software that enables the creation and management of accurately detailed, highly constructable 3D structural models regardless of material or structural complexity. Tekla models can be used to cover the entire building process from conceptual design to fabrication, erection and construction management. Tekla 'Xsteel' is included within the Tekla Structures package.

3D export file formats of Tekla Structures & Xsteel which are supported by Okino software are: Microstation DGN, DXF/DWG, IFC, IGES, SketchUp and STEP AP214.

     

OrcaFlex

OrcaFlex is a leading package for the dynamic analysis of offshore marine systems. OrcaFlex is renowned for its breadth of technical capability and user friendliness. OrcaFlex is used by offshore engineering business, with others in seismic, defence, ocean engineering, oceanographic research, aquaculture and related fields.

Converting data from Okino's conversion software into OrcaFlex can best be achieved using the DirectX file format, using Okino's bullet-proof DirectX export conversion system. The Orcina WEB site recommends that the exported models not be too large. If you are converting CAD models then you can set the mesh density on each Okino CAD importer. You can also use Okino's CAD-biased polygon reduction system to reduce the models prior to re-export to DirectX file format.
