Hi  
I’m new to FEM-Design API, and see that people are connecting Tekla and FEM-Design together in grasshopper. Is there a tutorial/ easy way to do this?

Hi @TOBTVE 👋

Welcome to the community 🙂

We didn’t set up a tutorial YET but you might find some helpful information in the following link 🙂

In order to convert from FEM-Design to Tekla using the grasshopper toolbox, you will mostly need to work with:  
model.deconstruct  
beam.deconstruct

If you have issue with something in particular, let me know and me and @anLor can help you
