Curriculum · 10 Modules

A complete path from detailer to automation engineer.

Each module is built around real precast deliverables — not toy examples. You'll build, ship and refactor the same kinds of tools that run in production environments today.

01

Tekla Open API Fundamentals

Architecture, environment, plugins, model objects and the development pipeline.

02

C# for Engineers

From zero to confident — practical C# patterns aimed specifically at engineering minds.

03

Data Structures & Geometry Logic

Polygons, vectors, transformations, work planes — the math behind every detail.

04

Reinforcement Automation Workflows

End-to-end automation of repetitive bar groups, single rebars, meshes and stirrups.

05

Software Development Best Practices

Source control, error handling, testing — engineering-grade code for engineers.

06

Algorithms & Non-Linear Data Structures

Trees, graphs and JSON-driven data models for serializing complex reinforcement logic.

Manual detailing vs. production-grade automation.

The same wall element. Two completely different timelines. The numbers below come from real reinforcement workflows we've automated.

Real Tekla Open API workflows. Real production code.

You'll work with the same kind of geometry reconstruction, polygon logic and parametric stirrup automation we ship to real precast plants.

About the Author

Built by a developer who actually understands precast reinforcement.

I'm a software development student who has spent the last 10+ months living inside the Tekla Open API — building automation tools for lifters, balcony notches, vents, opening reinforcement and full precast wall reinforcement workflows.

I've worked directly with real precast companies to understand how walls, embeds and reinforcement actually behave on the shop floor — and I've translated that knowledge into production-grade C# code.

This course exists because I sit in the rare overlap between detailer and developer. That overlap is exactly what's missing in most precast teams today.

Why this is different

Not another generic API tutorial.

"Most developers don't understand reinforcement. Most detailers don't understand software. This course teaches both."

Built from real precast workflows

Not theory — these are the same patterns shipped to active production environments.

Designed for reinforcement automation

Every module ties directly back to a real reinforcement deliverable.

Engineering + software, together

A rare combination — written for engineers learning code, and developers learning precast.

Practical automation strategies

How to choose what to automate, and how to make it stick across a team.

Focused on production efficiency

If it doesn't speed up real work, it doesn't make it into the curriculum.
