    API Webinar Series Ep.2:
    Grasshopper Integration for
    Structural Engineering Workflows
        SESSION TIME WILL VARY PER REGION
    Location : Online (Webinar link will be sent to you)
    ✨ Overview

    As structural engineering workflows become increasingly data-driven and parametric, engineers are seeking more efficient ways to integrate computational design environments with structural analysis platforms. In particular, Grasshopper is widely used to automate repetitive tasks, generate parametric models, and improve design flexibility within engineering workflows.

     

    In this webinar, we will introduce the MIDAS Grasshopper Interface and demonstrate how Grasshopper can be integrated with MIDAS CIVIL NX through API-based workflows. The session will cover the overall workflow, key components, and practical methods for connecting parametric design processes with structural analysis models.

     

    The session will demonstrate how Grasshopper and MIDAS CIVIL NX can be connected to simplify model generation, automate repetitive tasks, and enable smoother data exchange for more efficient structural engineering workflows
