Check out this this app built by Alejandro Duarte Vendries. You can use the app to automate truss structure optimization from start to finish. Some specifics of what you can do:
Set up the geometry of your truss in no time with customizable parameters
Integrate directly with ETABS—no more jumping between platforms or data loss
Automate material and geometry optimization
Get instant results to helps you make better, faster decisions
This isn’t just about saving time (although it’s a huge time-saver); it’s about making the process smarter and more accurate. Imagine how much more you could achieve when you’re not stuck doing repetitive tasks!
