This is an interactive Tekla Open API eLearning course containing ten lessons. You will learn what Tekla Open API is and what you need to do to get started.
With Tekla Open API, Tekla Structures users can produce their own applications when they feel they want something more than what is already available. With Tekla Open API (Application Programming Interface), these applications can integrate and communicate within the Tekla Modeling environment. Additionally, the Tekla Open API known as the .NET API, provides an interface with third party applications to interact with model and drawings objects in Tekla Structures.
With Tekla Open API you can:
- Customize Tekla Structures functionality to fit your projects
- Speed up your daily activities by recording and automating user interface actions
- Increase productivity in modeling and drawing creation
- Turn manual routines into automated actions
- Integrate Tekla Structures to other software
- Create intelligent 3D products and tools for building product manufacturers
Tekla Open API Fundamentals course is meant for:
