Using this regime is reasonable when complex renumbering processes areperformed, involving updating a large number of components (over 100 000elements). Thus it ensures that no double work will be done due to a notcoordinated multi-user intrusion.

5. Choosing the server name is required only when operating a model inthe multi-user regime. It distinguishes the very computer, which monitorssimultaneous work of several users and prevents the simultaneous savingof the updates. Changing the server name in the new TS interface is possibleonly internally by the project users.
Tekla Model Sharing represents a multiuser regime that allows simultaneously workingseveral users over a project and keeping data in the cloud storage. Itbenefits the possibility to involve a large number of users in a projectand does not require any local network between them. Thus users can belocated at different offices and countries.
The Tekla Structures Multi-user service runs on a TCP/IP network and must consist of a server computer running xs_server.exe, and a file server computer containing the master model. That means all Multi-user models need to be in a network directory. Keep in mind that all members of any shared model must use the same setup (i.e., Environment and Role), the same Version and Service Pack of Tekla Structures, and preferably the same configuration/license type. If the configuration is not the same, be sure that all licenses involved generate the same component types (Conceptual vs. Detailed).

Abstract:In the design phase, building information modeling (BIM) software has been widely employed due to its high efficiency, precision, and synergy among different teams. However, the advantages of BIM have not been fully explored in the manufacturing stage where the progress is not so transparent, and information exchange is not so smooth. To deal with these problems, a BIM platform for the manufacture of steel structures is developed in this article, which aims for the management and visualization of manufacturing progress in a steel structure factory in China. The proposed platform was developed and tested by using practical projects. The requirement is analyzed with different users involved in the manufacturing progress. The platform is web-based, where Node.js is adopted for server-side scripting, Neo4j is used for data storage, hyper text markup language (HTML), cascading style sheets (CSS), and JavaScript are used to compile user interface. Besides, a quick response (QR) code is attached to components for traceability. By parsing the BIM model exported in the design phase, essential information of components is imported into the platform, which are the data that form the basis of the following operation. By introducing the platform as a collaborative tool, the traceability and visibility of real-time manufacturing progress of each steel component are significantly enhanced. As a result, this platform can help managers make decisions, workers check quality problems, and other stakeholders grasp the manufacturing progress.Keywords: BIM platform; building information modeling; prefabricated building; manufacture; IFC 2ff7e9595c
