The document compares different BIM software used for architecture, structure, sustainability, simulation, estimating and cost analysis. It provides buckets of BIM software and their relative comparison. It also discusses BIM usage in India and compares Revit and Tekla, two structural software. Autodesk Ecotech and EnergyPlus, two sustainability software are also compared. Finally, it outlines the key aspects of a BIM workflow.

6. REVIT
TEKLA
REVIT
TEKLA
● Revit is a multidisciplinary software .
● for Architects, Structural Engineers, MEP engineers and
surveyors.
● It is not very quick for detailing purposes.
● Revit is better in terms of concrete works.
● Revit is more user friendly compared to Tekla.
● Revit has a very clumsy interface with respect
to detail steel work
● High Level of Flexibility when compared
● In Revit file size becomes heavy
● which performs very slow in comparison to Tekla.
● Tekla is only software when compared to structural
modelling and fabrication that stands for the best
performance when compared with other software.
● TEKLA software is specialized in steel structures .
● Tekla is more accurate and quick when compared
to Revit.
● Tekla is better in terms of executing Big infra projects .
