Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence!

The Tekla Open API Model Application for Beginners course is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to develop model applications for Tekla Structures using Tekla Open API (C#), starting from the fundamentals and progressing through practical, hands-on examples.

In this course, you will learn how to create and work with Tekla model objects such as Beams, Columns, Plates, Bolts, Welds, and Assemblies. You will also learn how to retrieve and process model data by selecting objects, scanning selections, and accessing all objects in the model.

The course focuses on practical implementation, with short, well-structured lessons that help you clearly understand how Tekla Open API works and how to apply it to develop automation tools for daily work.

The course content is updated weekly with new videos. At the moment, the course currently includes the Beam creation section, and additional sections such as Column, Plate, Bolt, Weld, and Assembly creation will be added continuously.

What you will learn

  • Create Beams, Columns, Plates, Bolts, Welds, and Assemblies using Tekla Open API

  • Retrieve and process Tekla model data through selection and model object scanning

  • Work with common properties in Tekla Structures

  • Build a solid foundation for developing automation and model applications
