What is Grasshopper3d?

Grasshopper3D is a commonly used computer language for civil engineers trying to use coding.  If you are a structural engineer interested in learning computation, you are in the right place. In this video, we will dive into the fundamentals of Grasshopper, a flow-based visual programming language that is integral to the 3D CAD software Rhinoceros.

You may not think of Grasshopper as a traditional programming language, but it is a powerful tool for creating complex algorithms and designs. Instead of writing lines of code, you will be using a visual interface to connect different components, represented as batteries and wires, to create a script.

Throughout this course, we will explore the advantages of using Grasshopper as a programming language and how it can benefit your work as a structural engineer. Additionally, we will delve into the plugin's integration with Rhinoceros 3D, which is an easy-to-learn, but powerful, CAD medium most engineers pick up quite quickly.

So, if you are ready to expand your skills and learn how to use Grasshopper for computational design, join me in this video.
