3.0 Compiling structural analyses and other technical documents
Unique integral concept Structural analyses and other technical documents consist of a wide range of components. For example, these include:
	introductory and explanatory texts,
	design drawings and graphics,
	calculations with specialist software, structural analysis software or with manufacturer's programs,
	loads based on DIN, manufacturer specifications and regulatory statutes,
	as well as handwritten detailed analyses, design measurements and calculations.
General text and spreadsheet calculation programs only fulfill these tasks to a limited extent. In contrast, BauText was specially developed for consistent computer-supported generation of structural analyses and other technical documentation. Our software provides the user with a generic product approach. The great advantage of BauText is that calculations can be seamlessly executed in the text program. It is this that distinguishes BauText substantially from other text and calculation programs. Through the integration of specialist and structural analysis software our concept goes even further. BauText solves three tasks: Calculation, writing and compilation. This is unique.
BauText integrates the software from a wide range of providers, thus distinguishing it from existing stand-alone solutions. Interfaces such as t2W and OLE allow the transfer of data from other programs. The outputs of structural analyses and CAD programs, technical information, standards and manufacturer specifications can be seamlessly transferred and used.
Text modules and variant calculations are stored as templates which are then used to automate and accelerate recurrent calculations, structural analyses and explanations. Just a mouse-click on a standard value is all that BauText needs to recalculate all dependent values. As well as saving time, sources of error are reduced. This frees the engineer from routine tasks so he is much more able to concentrate on the essentials.
The reuse of calculations and documents is effectively supported. BauText simplifies the making of modifications and adaptations, and automates routine tasks. Collaboration with other engineering offices and clients as well as within working groups becomes easier. The export function to PDF format supports archiving and, hence, document management within companies. The time for editing and hence the costs for compiling structural analyses and technical documentation are reduced by 30% and more.
				Our expertise in practical application plays a significant role: We use our software in our daily activities. This is one reason why our users quickly get that "made for me" feeling. With the experience we have gained in the fields of engineering and software development, we have developed a unique solution for digital technical documentation.
