Benefits:
- Error Reduction: Detects issues early, reducing rework and ensuring accurate fabrication.
- Material Savings: Minimizes waste by preventing costly mistakes in production.
- Improved Efficiency: Speeds up quality checks, allowing teams to focus on critical tasks.
- Enhanced Communication: Provides clear feedback for coordination between design and fabrication teams.
The GA vs FAB Comparison Tool is an essential resource for ensuring accuracy and consistency in structural design workflows, helping teams deliver high-quality results while optimizing resources.
The GA vs FAB Comparison Tool is designed to identify discrepancies between general arrangement (GA) drawings and fabrication (FAB) drawings in Tekla Structures. This tool ensures alignment between design and shop drawings, reducing errors, minimizing material waste, and improving production efficiency.
Key Features:
- Drawing Comparison:
Automatically cross-checks assembly drawings against shop drawings to identify differences in dimensions, details, or design. - Change Detection:
Highlights changes such as missing parts, incorrect dimensions, or mismatches between the drawings. - Error Reporting:
Generates a detailed report outlining all identified discrepancies, making it easier to address issues before production. - Visual Markups:
Marks inconsistencies directly on the drawings, providing clear and actionable feedback for the design team. - Customizable Check Parameters:
Allows users to define specific parameters for comparison, such as material specifications, dimensions, and connection details. - Seamless Workflow Integration:
Works within Tekla Structures to integrate seamlessly into existing workflows without the need for external tools.
