To install the Tekla plugin just double click on the Tsep file installer AGTPlugin2016+_3.6.tsep
Start Tekla, Open a drawing
Click the Application & components on the right. You can click see Agt_Export
If you select Selected it will use the beams actually selected in your workspace. If All is chosen then all beam assemblies will be exported. Be sure to save your work before using the plugin, because it will alter welds information. After exporting just exit without saving and reopen. By default the directory is the current Tekla project.
Press OK to start the extraction of the Tekla information to AGT file .AGTX.

*Import bolted accessories* Will also add the bolted parts to the beam assembly. In Cortex you will see the bolted parts. If you use catch all welding mode then these bo

CAD files are the source of information for Cortex. Depending on the source software, some features will work or not.
1. PARTS/3D MODEL ANALYSIS OVERVIEW
Generally, AGT Robotics can test customer parts with CORTEX Prime to follow these objectives: Validate the compatibility between the CAD software but mostly how the parts are drawn; Welds: Validate that the welds modeled in the CAD software can be read by Cortex; OR; Validate that the auto-generated welds by CORTEX are located at the right position and with the right size. General accessibility: Validate the overall results (what welds can be done with robots)? Validate main reasons if welds are not supported.
