Your current typical workday:

Year after year, you wait for new Tekla Structures updates, hoping for improvements that never quite fit your projects' unique demands. But projects don't wait. Designs get more detailed and need to be finished faster. There are many tools out there, but often, they just don't meet your exact needs.

For a long time, starting with the automation of the repetitive and time-consuming tasks in Tekla Structures was difficult. You had to search everywhere for bits of information, and it was very confusing. You didn’t have one place to learn it all, step by step, until now.

Now, things are changing

With Grasshopper, you can change how you work in Tekla Structures. Parametric Design has become available to every engineer, allowing you to create your own tools, even if you are not an IT developer.

My new training, Grasshopper in Tekla, is based on more than ten years of expertise in Tekla Structures and uses proven methods from the world's biggest projects. I've included tools and resources that you can freely use for drawing creation and 3D modelling in Tekla that give you the freedom to do everything you want… and nothing you don’t.

Grasshopper In Tekla Training

Highly practical online training

One-year access to 10-module advanced program covering all functions and possibilities for automation of 2D drawings and 3D model creations that Grasshopper Tekla Link offers to all Tekla users.

Practical assignments are based on real case studies, so scripts can be easily applied to your work right away!

One-year access to a closed Grasshopper in Tekla community – a space for questions to experts other students about Tekla-related topics for further discussions and in-depth learning.

Live Q&A sessions, workshops, webinars with exciting guests, and extra case studies available exclusively for students.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee – 30 days refund, no questions asked

What will you learn?

This Grasshopper in Tekla training will teach you how to create custom tools and automate tasks in Tekla, making your work faster, more efficient and satisfying.

You'll learn all about Grasshopper in Tekla's live link components, tips and tricks you didn't know, and how to identify opportunities for automation and build tools that fit your project needs.

Automating Rebar modelling

Create Tekla reinforcement faster and with higher precision with provided script templates you can reuse on your projects.

Creating Quality Assurance Tools

Modeling is one part, but you will learn how to create scripts that check sets of rules. For example, sending warnings that some elements are not modeled in the proper phase or that rebar groups do not have the same position number.

Creating Your Own User Interface

You will be able to integrate Grasshopper scripts into Tekla Structures without opening Grasshopper, using Rhino.Inside technology. This gives your non-Grasshopper colleagues the ability to use your scripts.

Modeling Advanced Elements

You will learn the proper way to create special shapes with complex geometry that was not possible without Grasshopper before and how to model steel connections much faster.

Automating Drawing Creation

You will save hundreds of hours by automating drawing creation. Create cross sections, dimension lines, and manipulate drawing UDAs using Grasshopper Tekla Drawing Link.

If you're looking for a complete guide on how to change your work in Tekla Structures and transform this software in the way you’ve always wanted, this is the training for you.
