Artificial Intelligence and Algorithmic Design have been hot topics in the Construction Industry in the past few years. This video showcases how you can leverage historical data of connections that have been applied by detailers in Tekla Structures on certain framing conditions or in models and automatically check or apply those same connection settings on other similar framing conditions on the same or other projects. This shows the power of using the Tekla Open API to enhance the productivity and accuracy of Tekla Structures. This was written by Christopher Keyack, a Tekla Structures consultant, who has been working with Tekla since 2005, and the Tekla API since 2007.
