Is there going to be an IFC4 version of Structural analysis view (schema and documentation)?

I don´t there is one planned but it would be good to make one. Tekla would be a good company to take lead on that. 🙂

I think the preferred process is to have some structural engineering stakeholders (end users) to take the lead on a project to create a Structural Analysis IDM/MVD. Ideally, it would involve a variety of users with a variety of tools to be sure that the “best common denominator” of requirements are captured.
