production process between tekla structures and solidworks

[Disegni Costruttivi]

Hello, use tekla structures for 7 years. I would like to ask what is the production process of programs similar to solidworks?
I understand better, I know that with tekla its production process is: modeling of the whole structure, marking, development of drawings of the individual parts, drawings of the welded assemblies, drawings of assembly, drawings of parts with brands and weights both of the parts and of the bolts, supplying files for numerical control machines. I am passionate about tools such as solidworks, but I can't understand its production process, that is, after modeling how I can give the customer that material that allows the final operator to build the molded pieces, I speak drawings of single parts, distinct, etc. I don't think it is able to do it, maybe it exports files that can be inserted into numerical control machines? So I wonder from the model how can I create what I modeled? Thank you.

If you don't know how to say that?
Solidworks does everything you said.
especially welded are not assembled at a later time, but shaped as a unique part with multiple bodies (the so-called multibody). of this you can have the distinct cut (with the last version also the total length of equal profiles), extrapolate the individual bodies both for the table and to send it to a cnc, you can give each body a brand, code or other custom property; in the same properly shaped file you can make the finished version and raw version without machine processing. if the extrapolated bodies have to make changes (agiunger esovrametallo for example) you do it without changing the source if you change the source you also regenerate the export.

OK better so, in the future I would like to learn that's why I ask, but when you say that you can attribute brands to the pieces this happens automatically or in the drawing stage I am the one who has to label them with the brand?

I know very little solidworks, but if similar to inventor I have always had this doubt.

each piece must be bound using other pieces as reference. in a project where there can be many modifications, such as pieces that are deleted and/or moved, this is a big problem. the problem is quite bypassable using the chassis generator.

the second problem is that the project is a set, consisting of smaller assemblies (which are perhaps workshop welded), in turn composed of parts (tubes, single plates). if you make changes that involve moving parts (e.g. plates fixed to a tube) from one subaxieme to another usually this creates problems because you have to re-wine everything.

but I am quite profane in this matter, unfortunately I could not have done much experience. So these problems are solved? If you like?

ps for construction drawings
tekla is a specific carpentry program. its strength is in the ability to produce drawings almost automatically. mechanical programs do not think they generate drawings automatically (the table is more precise, but manual).
tekla also generates excellent distinct, I think that configuring it also solidworks can do as well.

Thank you.

in the part file each group of identical bodies has its own description where you can insert all the descriptive parameters you want. When you make the table, call back with notes or bubbles one of these descriptions. but in the part, unless you use a pdm I believe or a macro, the specifications you have to fill out.
You should enter the detail to understand what you have to do and if you can do

to give you a stupid example. those that you see in the part under separate cutting are the groups of the bodies; the properties are within each single group while the name you see is not representative but I put it to facilitate the area.
in the design I insert the codes by binding them to the property containing the number

solidwork works in multibody. you have only one file. if a plate that has a unique code is used in another part will simply replicate this descriptive code in the properties of the body.

I don't know the levels of tekla's distinct, but solid allows it to be pretty good and accurate. Of course it depends on the needs, you can't extract a distinct excel by keeping the parameterity, but set a basic model from which to start can automate the thing a lot

Meanwhile thanks to everyone is the first time I write in a forum so thank you, I attach an image hoping that you read.
basically with tekla I make a table where there is the design of the only part, example .pos.193, then I will make an assembly design and that table that will give the operator the information of how to weld my pos193 inside all the assembly, then I will make the assembly design where I will go to indicate where to place my assembly in the yard. for the distinct I get out the information that I attached in the image. the substance that I could do all this simply in autocad manually, but the speech is precisely this (after automatic marking with random numbering) in automatic tekla creates all the drawings of the parts and all the drawings of the assemblies (obviously to review and reset) but manages to have a management of the drawings i.e. I can have the situation under control always.... all this to say I wanted to implement my activity of other technical drawing and materially what does the client (generally) of a study that uses solidworks, only the model? some drawings of asses? or a myriad of boards of every piece? Thank you.

this depends on the needs of the customer, not the possibilities of the software.
what you put in the image you can do very well (excluding the total weight of the position). a possible sin is that the removal of individual bodies is not automatic but you have to do it by hand or find a macro. the advantage is that you do not have x files to make a welded structure, but only one from which you can extract each individually or not (you can make single tables even without exporting each individual file, but selecting the affected body). you can customize the profile libraries so that description, weight, warehouse code, supplier code, regulations and other are already included (in the example image there is the description in English and in Italian, just make two separate models that call one or the other item according to the customer)

I correct myself, even the total weight is possible to obtain it through operation between the existing cells, but it is susceptible to errors if the distinct changes for insertion or elimination of a row. Let's say it's an operation that needs to be done at work.
