Wind turbines have less resistance capacity towards lateral loads. Therefore, the lateral load resistance of wind turbines needs to be revised. A novel approach of upgrading the performance of wind turbine by inserting a steel friction damper in the wind flange is presented in this study using Tekla structures. It is possible to model structural connections and details using the existing Tekla structures library. However, the library lacks special elements such as, vibration control systems, dampers. In this paper a new type of steel friction damper for wind tower is developed using C# programming through Tekla OpenAPI environment. Finally, Automatic quantity takeoff is also done using Tekla structures.
