Hemispherical head tekla stucture

Grasshopper
1

Hi all,

I am currently working on a project where I need to model the hemispherical head of a storage tank made from sheet metal. Unfortunately, Tekla does not support the creation of two inclined surfaces in two planes. As a result, I would like to explore using Grasshopper to achieve this design.

Could you please assist me with getting started on this? Any guidance or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Ah,

Some images or any other information would probably be needed in order to assist you.

But in essence, simply model the hemispherical shape in Rhino either manually or parametrically using Grasshopper. Then use the GH link and push the BREP or MESH in to the Tekla Item component and it will appear in Tekla.
