@BIM4Struc
Business Issues Maintain early design knowledge Improve the transition from Concept to Design More automation tools to reduce rework Easier modelling, visualisation and analysis tools © 2017 Autodesk
@BIM4Struc
Computational Design Industry Status Issues in Computational Design to BIM §
Products in market are not building aware
§
No detailed building elements (connection)
§
Fractured ecosystem – needs hacking
§
No analysis tools

Dynamo Platform
§ Open Source
§ Standalone version
§ Available in Revit
§ Works outside of Revit
§ Freely available
§ Yearly Subscription
