See you at the Steel Days 2025 in the Nordics?

Oct 15

Written By Tomas Jakobsen

The "Steel Days" events are just around the corner in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. Altough not directly affiliated, these national events are key gatherings for structural engineers, steel detailers, and professionals involved in steel construction and fabrication.

BuildingPoint Scandinavia will be there (of course!) ready to meet attendees and discuss your challenges and our solutions for structural design and detailing, fabrication, building erection—and more!

Here’s what we’ll bring…

Rhino 3D with Grasshopper

Rhino 3D, together with Grasshopper, is a powerful tool for parametric modeling in structural engineering.

It’s well suited for early-phase design, custom geometry, and automation — and works GREAT in conjunction with Tekla Structures and IDEA StatiCa.

BuildingPoint Scandinavia became an official Rhino reseller in 2024. If you’re interested in a Steel Days promo coupon on Rhino 3D licenses, feel free to reach out to our team!

Yeah, I'd like a promo coupon on Rhino 3D!

Getting started with Rhino and Grasshopper

Rhino and Grasshopper isn’t just for the most advanced users—in fact, you can get started easily with great online training!

BuildingPoint Scandinavia also offer online classroom trainings where you can ask questions and get to know the instructors (which you may meet later on if you contact Technical Support).

Tekla Structures

✔ Extensions for Tekla users!

In Norway and Denmark our team will be showcasing some exciting new tools designed to enhance the Tekla Structures platform, including:

Tekla Logging Tool: Streamline your project tracking by logging all essential changes and project events.
Tekla ModelChecker: Ensure your models are accurate and compliant with industry standards through automated checks.
Tekla Cut Optimizer: Manage and optimize the cutting of steel beam lengths based on what is available in stock.

…and more!

These extensions are designed to improve efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration across the construction workflow, and they are included in the Tekla Care Program, so our customers can enjoy the benefit of these extensions free of charge!

Tekla users in Finland and Sweden may also get access, reach out to us if you are interested.

✔ Tekla development:
Get YOUR products in Tekla!

Many part manufacturers (bolts, fasteners, bracing rods, and other types of equipment needed in steel construction) have created Tekla components of their products.

This make it easy for designers to incorporate their products in a project, with lots of benefits from all parties; like having a fully detailed BIM model with detailed product data from the manufacturer (like CO₂ footprint, datasheets), easy ordering—and more!
