Ways how Computational Design changes your life
§ Explore multiple design options
§ Look under the hood of your model
§ Automate multiple tasks
§ Test what your design REALLY does
§ Think algorithmically
© 2017 Autodesk @BIM4Struc
Maintain early design knowledge
Improve the transition from Concept to Design
More automation tools to reduce rework
Easier modelling, visualisation and analysis tools
Business Issues

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
Computational Design Industry Status
© 2017 Autodesk @BIM4Struc
§ Quickly explore parametric design concepts
§ Solve complex geometric problems
§ Evaluate designs and analyze geometry
§ Automate repetitive tasks
Value Proposition with Dynamo
© 2017 Autodesk @BIM4Struc
§ Extending capabilities to automate tasks
§ Greater design insight with less manual effort
§ Supports interoperability in the design process
Increase Your Productivity with Dynamo

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

Visual Programming in Dynamo
§ Individual tasks are embedded in “nodes”
§ Each node on the canvas has its inputs and outputs.
§ Connect the in- and outputs logically with „wires”.
§ The effect displays on the graphical background
