Short documentary: Robotics in mining, how to get return on investment?
VIDEO DOCUMENTARY: Robot dog Spot from Boston Dynamics is used by Norwegian contractor LNS to make mining safer, more efficient and sustainable. See the film to learn HOW!
This short video documentary/report dives in to the ROI aspect of this Spot project - both in terms of cost savings and financial aspects, but also other, less quantifiable values realised through this project.
IDEA StatiCa 23.1 out now!
We are very happy to present IDEA StatiCa 23.1! The list of improvements for steel and concrete is long and interesting, read more in this article!
IDEA StatiCa Campus
IDEA StatiCa Campus is a comprehensive set of e-learning courses for self-paced education. It is intended for all structural engineers and connection designers who wish to understand the principles of IDEA StatiCa and become productive immediately.
Tekla Cut Optimizer
A challenge faced by steel fabricators is managing and optimizing the cutting of various steel beam lengths related to what is available in stock. Fortunately, BuildingPoint Scandinavia has introduced a Tekla extension to streamline this process - the Tekla Cut Optimizer!
Point clouds in Tekla - why, what and how to do it!
Many engineers would like to use point clouds more - but some feel that using special software for point clouds can be a threshold too high… So why not bring the point cloud directly into Tekla Structures?? Watch the presentation and demo to learn more and get started!
What is IDEA StatiCa?
Watch this 25 minutes presentation of IDEA StatiCa and learn how it can be used for steel connection design and concrete walls and details and make you and your team more productive!
Summer interns adapts Tekla for Timber
In collaboration with the industry, the summer interns wanted to develop the Tekla user interface and workflow with automation that offers a more intuitive and seamless use of wood/timber materials and typical timber components!
Tekla Tips & Tricks - Numbering!
A common question to our Tekla Support team is how Numbering works in Tekla. How do Tekla pick the number to assign to parts and assemblies? How do you make similar or identical parts get the same part number? How do you take control of the numbering? Watch Erik’s presentation to learn more about Numbering in Tekla!
Trimble Connect QUICK TIP: BCF Topics
The Trimble Connect BCF Topics is an issue management system meant for communication between the project members and it was recently released for Trimble Connect. Watch the Quick Tip video or read this article to learn more!
How can scanning help steel fabricators?
Steel fabricators in the Nordic were early adopters of BIM and have developed great workflows for design and fabrication over the years. Many are now looking into scanning and want to find efficient ways to consider the real world and the BIM model together for quality assurance and project planning and other benefits! In this article we will look into some use cases for scanning focused on the steel fabricator segment!
Summer interns takes on timber in Tekla!
Summer means vacation for many of us. But we can’t leave the office empty, so we’ve hired Hannah and Anders to keep it busy! They will focus an important topic: Improving the BIM workflow for TIMBER structures!
New Trimble Connect webinars
Trimble Connect keeps growing and BuildingPoint Scandinavia have noticed a steady demand for training and method development. Join one of our two NEW webinars to Take Control of Trimble Connect! (By the way: we’ll run the webinars in English AND Norwegian this time as well!)
Skanska makes construction of E18 Vestkorridoren easier with apps from BuildingPoint
Skanska is the main contractor for the E103 contract for Strand-Ramstadsletta, a part of the E18 Vestkorridoren project in Bærum west of Oslo. Learn about how an app for Trimble Connect that has been developed in collaboration with BuildingPoint Scandinavia makes life easier for the workers on the construction site!
IDEA StatiCa and FEM-Design Collaboration
In cooperation with the widely known software producer StruSoft, IDEA StatiCa now offer a BIM workflow between the apps FEM-Design and Checkbot to enable their users to design and code-check steel connections most efficiently!
Trimble Connect QUICK TIP: How to use the Sync function!
In this Trimble Connect QUICK TIP video we will show you how to use the Sync function in Trimble Connect to update the Common Data Environment (CDE), download the models from the CDE, and update the coordination model in your project!
IDEA StatiCa 23.0 is out now!
IDEA StatiCa 23.0 is out now! Users can look forward to many exciting improvements and new features that can help them save time and be more productive! Watch the presentation about the new features and functions, and see the list of some of the improvements.
Trimble Connect QUICK TIP: How to create and use QR markers
It’s more and more popular to use AR to do quality assurance by comparing the designed model with reality! We can place the model manually or use the QR marker. In this Quick Tip video we will show you how to install the QR marker in TC and how to use it!
Spot making arctic mining safer and more efficient for LNS - First field trials completed!
In Tana, way up north in Norway, almost as far north as you can get in Europe, it is common to see the Northern Lights. That green dancing light on the dark winter sky draws looks even from the locals, and particularly from visitors not used to the phenomenon.
Now, however, there is another possible explanation for the lights you see up in the mountains… It might also be Spot at work for LNS in an open pit mine in Tana!
