UAE-based IT firm Tekla has said it is working with US-based Autodesk to enable better compatibility between the two firms' building information modelling (BIM) software platforms. As a first step, the companies have collaborated to introduce new features that allow for the exchange of structural data between Revit and Tekla software. These features ensure that the integrity of structural BIM data is maintained from design to fabrication. The benefit will be a more consistent flow of information and BIM being easier to implement across the AEC industry.
