📌[ENGLISH]

This webinar focuses on the use of Rhinoceros 3D and Grasshopper to create or modify Tekla BIM models by using the Tekla Live Link. The presentation includes a general overview of the basic components, some further reading, and a few use cases for bridge design.

Ronan Pieters graduated in 2015 at Ghent University with a diploma in civil engineering. On the job at SBE, he searched for new ways to improve bridge design procedures. Currently, his projects start with a central geometric model (in Rhino and Grasshopper). From this model, exports are made to both FEM software and BIM software (hence the TeklaLiveLink).

Steven Walschaerts, with 12 years of Tekla experience. As a draftsman at SBE, his drive for project acceleration pushed him to use programs such as Rhino and Grasshopper. By using this automation, he managed to speed up model creation for both bridge structures and large industrial steel structures.
