As a TEKLA user, this blog will help you prevent mistakes in the fabrication shop. It can also save a lot of costs for you if you read it fully.
Some clients request STP files for fabrication purposes, but it’s important to note that there may be errors in the Tekla export. Generally, Tekla lacks a built-in option for the STP format. We use an extension called multi converter, obtained from the Tekla warehouse, for STP exports.
But, unfortunately, some parts don’t export properly, and we’ve encountered issues in our project.
Please see the below nc file snap for part no m513.
But when we export the same part in multi converter for STP format , We have got some errors.Please see below snap.The exported STP file shows only a small part instead of the entire component.
Most of the parts export successfully without any errors. However, a few parts with a maximum number of cuts are encountering issues, as shown in the snapshot. Therefore, I recommend checking the exported STP format files before sending, particularly for parts with a higher number of cuts in the model.
We have contacted TEKLA support regarding this issue. Please wait for a while, and we will update you once we receive a response from them.
