How do you manage and update your macros and plugins in Tekla Structures? Macros and plugins are custom tools that enhance your productivity and efficiency in Tekla Structures. They can automate repetitive tasks, add new features, or integrate with other software. However, to get the most out of them, you need to know how to install, update, and organize them properly. In this article, you will learn how to do that in six easy steps.
The first step is to find and download the macros and plugins that suit your needs and preferences. You can browse the Tekla Warehouse, which is an online repository of hundreds of free and verified tools for Tekla Structures. You can also search the Tekla User Assistance, which is a comprehensive online help and support site that provides documentation, tutorials, and forums for Tekla users. Alternatively, you can create your own macros and plugins using the Tekla Open API, which is a programming interface that allows you to access and manipulate Tekla Structures data and objects.
The second step is to install the macros and plugins that you have downloaded or created. You can do this by using the Tekla Structures Extension Manager, which is a tool that helps you manage your extensions in one place. You can access it from the Applications & components catalog or from the File menu. To install an extension, you need to select it from the list, click the Install button, and follow the instructions. You can also drag and drop the extension file (.tsep) to the Extension Manager window.
The third step is to update the macros and plugins that you have installed. You can do this by using the Tekla Structures Extension Manager as well. To update an extension, you need to select it from the list, click the Update button, and follow the instructions. You can also check the Update all button to update all the extensions at once. The Extension Manager will notify you if there are any updates available for your extensions.
The fourth step is to organize the macros and plugins that you have installed. You can do this by using the Applications & components catalog, which is a tool that helps you access and launch your extensions in Tekla Structures. You can access it from the side pane or from the Applications & components menu. To organize an extension, you need to right-click it from the list, click the Properties button, and edit the name, description, category, or icon of the extension. You can also drag and drop the extension to a different category or folder.
The fifth step is to launch the macros and plugins that you have installed and organized. You can do this by using the Applications & components catalog as well. To launch an extension, you need to double-click it from the list or click the Launch button. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut or a toolbar button to an extension for faster access. Some extensions may require additional inputs or settings before they run.
The sixth and final step is to uninstall the macros and plugins that you no longer need or want. You can do this by using the Tekla Structures Extension Manager again. To uninstall an extension, you need to select it from the list, click the Uninstall button, and follow the instructions. You can also check the Uninstall all button to uninstall all the extensions at once. The Extension Manager will notify you if there are any dependencies or conflicts with other extensions.
Working in partnership with Trimble Solutions, Stridely is proud to unveil two groundbreaking plugins now available on Tekla Warehouse: Stridely Column Beam Endplate Connection and Stridely Batten Plate. These plugins represent a significant leap forward in structural engineering software, offering enhanced capabilities and efficiency for Tekla Structures users worldwide.
Tekla Warehouse serves as a central hub for Tekla Structures users to access a vast array of custom components, tools, extensions, and templates shared by the Tekla user community. As a Trimble platform, Tekla Warehouse provides a collaborative environment where structural engineers and designers can discover, download, and utilize innovative solutions to streamline their workflows and improve productivity.
This plugin facilitates the seamless connection of hot-rolled structural elements, specifically designed for I-section columns. To initiate the plugin, users navigate to the Applications & Components option within Tekla Structures and select the Stridely component. By following a simple step-by-step process, users can connect two I-section columns using endplate connections.
This plugin is designed to connect two channel sections with a flat plate, offering enhanced flexibility and control. Users can initiate the plugin by selecting the primary and secondary columns, ensuring that the handling point is in the middle of the primary column. With intuitive features, users can easily modify plate thickness, adjust the number and spacing of plates, and define plate orientation and material properties.
Both the Stridely Column Beam Endplate Connection and the Stridely Batten Plate plugins are now available for download on Tekla Warehouse, offering Tekla Structures users immediate access to these powerful solutions for their structural engineering projects.

The key factors of software development are keeping the source code and controlling of the versions. The database based sourcecode can be restored online as a hosting service or in own network system on a separate server.
Palveluihimme kuuluvat sek vastaavan rakennesuunnittelijan tehtvt ett tuoteosasuunnittelut. Suunnittelemme kohteemme eurokoodeja noudattaen ja osaamme huomioida vanhentuneiden mrysten vaikutuksen suunnitelmiin. Rakennusliikkeille suunnittelusislt koostuu useasta eri sisltvaihtoehdosta aikataulujen ja tavoitteiden mukaan.
Teemme laskentaa ja simulaatioita rakennusfysiikan ilmiist. Sovelluksia ovat esim. rakenteiden lujuuslaskenta, lmmnjohtumisen laskenta (U-arvo), ilmanvaihdon virtauslaskenta ja kosteusilmiiden laskenta. Lhestymistapa laskentaan voi olla yksityiskohtainen 3D/2D laskentamalli tai kokonaiskyttytymist kuvaava 0D laskentamalli.
Olemme erikoistuneet tersrakenteiden eurokoodimitoitukseen ja toteutamme lissntjen mukaisia kestvyyslaskentoja mm. levyrakenteille, ruostumattomalle terkselle, siiloille ja siliille. Laskentapalveluiden lisksi toteutamme ja opastamme standardin sfs-en 1090-2 edellyttm toteutuseritelmn laadintaa.
