Every artist needs a craft to work on his design. Here, in the case of building information model, Dynamo Studio is an essential craft that enables designers to create a computational BIM model. The software gives a visual programming tool to its users that can run in either stand-alone ‘’Sandbox’’ mode or as a plug-in for other software like Revit or Maya.

How does it work?

Once installed, the application is accessible to both programmers and non-programmers and works within the visual programming process. The process enables its users to visually script behavior, define custom pieces of logic and script using various textual programming process.

Within the application, the user needs to connect the elements to form a relationship that composes custom algorithm. These algorithms can then be used for various purposes – from processing data to generating geometry.

Types of Dynamo Packages for BIM

Lunchbox: The plug-in includes a set of nodes that perform the various function with a focus to manage your data and generate expected design.

Clockwork : One of the most useful package during the creation phase of a project. They are a set of nodes that focus on various geometric operations.

Bumblebee : This package is an interlinkage between Revit and Excel.

SteamNodes : This will help in giving proper evaluation for your model.

Rhynamo : The nodes expose new workflow opportunities between common design and production environments used in architectural design.

Archi-lab.net : The nodes in this package acts as a manipulation tool for extracting and providing necessary data during the process.

There are over 11500 packages and over 400 authors but you need to be aware of the packages that work best for you or your company. Here are some of the most installed plug-ins that you might want to consider in the industry of BIM.

What are its benefits?

It’s a complicated process but worth the hustle:

Dynamo gives a broad perspective towards constructing a replica for your model. The process is a bit complex in nature as importing data and accessing it can become repetitive and tiresome but working your way through this computational and logical phase can give you a detailed structure of the ultimate prototype.

Moreover, this design stage is a lot cheaper and makes it easier to simulate building performance throughout the process.

Experience the real-life simulation of your project:

With technology evolving over the years, many architects and engineers have the ability to analyze their virtual projects from every aspect. Here, dynamo plays the role of providing a platform to these designers in giving a powerful tool to bring quantifiable results in their.

Technostruct makes use of the same Autodesk software to enhance its performance and bring a qualitative result for its clients.
