Modelling Complex Contour Plates using the Tekla Open API
How to create custom Contour Plates using the Tekla Open API from Tek1 on Vimeo.
Manually creating contour plates from CSV file inputs will likely be disastrous. You’ll inevitably make mistakes and things won’t fit on site: it will be an uphill battle. You can obviate these issues by using the Tekla Open API to solve a lot of those problems.
See the video associated with this post for a demostration of our capabilities using the Tekla Open API.

Lesson 22 Tapered Plate
When modeling tapered plate
- Find the largest thickness and start with a plate size that will cover that.
- Use Contour plates to model tapered plate.
- Subtract from the stock to arrive at the corner thickness
- Check whether the tapered face is on a plane by looking for fold lines (edge lines) of the surface.If there are edge(fold) lines on the surface that mean that face is not on a single plane.
