Structural engineers are always in a search of ways to automate their work, get rid of repetitive and boring tasks and eliminating mistakes. One tool that can be used to reach all three goals is visual programming.

Visual programming provides the power of traditional programming but with much user-friendly interface and shallower learning curve.

Everything, from 3D geometry modeling to FEM calculations and report generation can be automated. In this seminar we are going to look into how engineers can benefit from using Rhino Grasshopper software and Grasshopper – Tekla live link.

10:00 – 10:10 Short introduction to Rhino Grasshopper.

10:10 – 10:30 Finite element calculations using Kangaroo and Karamba 3D

10:30 – 10:50 Grasshopper – Tekla live link and Rhino inside Tekla

10:50 – 11:00 Grasshopper and IFC

11:00 – 11:05 Using cloud to share data with others

10:05– 11:10 Q&A
