Structural add-ins?

OK, we've got a mech add-in in MEP. Are there any structural add-ins in the pipeline?

There was a press release a few weeks back about ArchiCAD and Tekla teaming up. I've no idea what this actually means, so we will have to wait until more information is released. Here's the thread with links to the press release and a future webinar -

The Tekla webinar was informative. It focussed on the placement of, and modifications to, exposed columns in a large public or office building. The co-operation between ArchiCad and Tekla uses IFC's which, of course, each can read. It seemed to need a lot of steps by the user to make it happen.

I was disappointed that the connection wasn't more direct so that it could be used as design tool by architects. I don't know how it compares with other CAD interfaces such as Revit Architecural and Revit Structural. Maybe AC13/Tekla's process is par for the course.
