Online Grasshopper Basic and SOFiSTiK Interaction Training Course

Parametric tools such as Grasshopper and scripting of FE analysis packages have given engineers the opportunity to “look under the hood” of software to automate its functionality and send data between different packages. This is enabling engineers to work faster and more creatively.

The course will be hosted in several session starting with the end of July 2020. Guiding you from the very first steps in Grasshopper to creating your first SOFiSTiK model is the main focus of the two-day training. Find the preliminary Agendas for both days below.
