Tekla Structures produces NC files in DSTV format (Deutscher Stahlbau-Verband). We recommend that you complete detailing and create drawings before producing the NC files. The data for the NC files comes from the Tekla Structures model. In addition to the CNC machine tools, the NC files can also be used by MIS and ERP software solutions. Tekla Structures transforms the part length, hole positions, bevels, notches, and cuts into sets of coordinates that the machine tools can use to create the part in a shop. During the manufacturing process a machine tool or machining center drills, cuts, punches or shapes the piece of material.Īfter you have finished detailing a Tekla Structures model, you can export the NC data as NC files from Tekla Structures to be used by CNC machine tools. The NC data controls the motion of CNC (computer numerical control) machine tools. NC (Numerical Control) refers to a method where machine tool operations are controlled with a computer.
