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.

Please take this quiz to test your knowledge of tapered plate modeling
