[Ismail Hakki Besler]

The steps of transferring to Tekla Structures can be summarized as follows: 1) First of all, open the ideCAD Static model you want to import and select from the menu. You save the model as a .dmp file by following the path "Project > Export > Tekla.dmp" 2) Then you run Tekla Structures installed on your computer.
