Parametric desing in the Consteel workflow

Learn the fundamentals of parametric design in Rhino with Grasshopper, our Pangolin plugin, and Consteel’s in-built scripting environment, Descript. This training explores how these tools work together to expand your design possibilities, combining the best of both platforms for innovative solutions.

WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?

Through this training, we’ll introduce the foundational concepts of the parametric environment in Rhino (with Grasshopper and our plugin Pangolin) and explore our unique environment in Consteel, called Descript, showing how each can be applied to enhance parametric design possibilities. We’ll place equal emphasis on both software platforms to help participants see the full scope of their potential.

Navigate the Rhino and Grasshopper interface for parametric design

Explore Consteel’s Descript environment for in-built scripting

Connect Grasshopper and Consteel through live scripting, using a simple beam example

Create a parametric transmission tower model, from wireframe geometry to Consteel model analysis

Create and investigate a hall structure with a canopy, interpreting Consteel results in Grasshopper

Compare and optimize a simple truss design in Grasshopper and Descript, focusing on section optimization
