PCI Custom Applications

intro image PCI custom applications are add on programs to Tekla Structures™ Steel Detailing module. These applications address both general detailing conditions and customer/project specific criteria. Many of these applications are programmable allowing greater functionality.

These programs are developed by Pacific Computing in conjunction with BDS Steel Detailers who are one of the largest structural steel detailing drawing offices in the world.

feature 1

Clear Dialog Interface

Each tab page is structured in an uncluttered manner using graphics to clearly indicate the inputs required. Related information is grouped together logically.

This intuitive presentation increases productivity by producing the expected results when dealing with both simple and complex applications.

feature 3

User Programmable 'Presets'

 Several areas of the program code can be accessed to adjust behavior of the application. This feature places programming power in your hands to accommodate special conditions and specifications.

Advanced training is available to maximize the benefits that you can get from the flexible program structure that PCI Custom Applications are built on.

feature 6

Extensive Help Files

Each PCI Custom Application includes documentation describing features and options. Set up information is provided where support files contain editable areas of program code.

Power users have access to additional technical documentation after completing advanced training.

feature 7

CNC Equipment Checks

PCI Custom Applications can store information for fabricating equipment and use it when programming material cuts. Tolerances can be checked and applied or toggled off for user override. Use this feature to maximize shop efficiency.

feature 8

Table or Load Driven Connections

The structure of PCI Custom Aplications supports the use of tabled data for automating connections. User input for a table source or load information stored in a member attribute can be used to key into a table.

Connection data source references can be written to member attributes. Reports using this information streamline the checking and approval processes.

Programmable Variables

Every input available in the dialog boxes is mapped to a variable that can be programmed!
