Integrated Solutions with Tekla Structures

Vela Systems is proud to be the first field software company to have automated integration with Tekla Structures -- structural Building Information Modeling software.

Vela Systems, an official Tekla partner, helps bridge the gap between the field and the home office. Communication from the field back into the Building Information Model, or Field BIM® for short, is a powerful combination for construction.

Integration Technical Overview

The Vela Integration Adaptor (VIA) is a powerful pre-configured connector between Tekla and Vela Systems. Key features of the Vela Integration Adaptor include:

  • Bidirectional integration synchronizes Tekla to Vela and Vela to Tekla.
  • Deployment works with hosted and non-hosted environments.
  • Tekla mapping is pre-configured and productized, so it is not 'custom code' --this speeds deployment.
  • Pre-configured field mapping and integration logic can be edited via user interface, for easy configuration of Tekla custom fields.
  • Web services are used, so firewall changes are not needed in almost all cases.

In our experience, close cooperation among all members of the supply chain is an absolute necessity for success. By bringing Tekla’s BIM solution together with Vela Systems field software and RFID, Skanska has brought new efficiencies to production management on this project. Vela Systems’ mobile field software is the vital glue that binds this solution together.
