This two day practical course introduces engineers to various computational design methods and systems. You will experiment with visual programming (using Grasshopper) and textbased programming (using C#). You will see how automation can improve engineers’ workflows.
By the end of the course, you will have:
• Generated parametric structural layouts
• Seen and implemented various options for parametrically analysing structures
• Explored the differences between visual and text-based programming
• Recognise how and why various data structures are used
Student or professional engineers.
We understand the importance of interacting with tutors and engaging with other delegates, and this has been prioritised for online delivery. The content remains the same as the in-house version of the course and the group size is still limited to allow the same level of interaction to take place between delegates and the tutor(s).
