Computational Design

Alias-Dynamo integration. (Available in Alias Concept, Alias Surface, and Alias AutoStudio only.)

Computational design, also referred to as generative design, is a process for exploring complex design through the application of rules or algorithms.

Dynamo is an open source visual programming platform for computational design. It is now installed with Alias.

Using Dynamo with Alias, designers can create scripts to create parametric designs or to create designs that would be too time consuming or impossible to create in Alias otherwise.

This release of Alias introduces a seamless integrated workflow between Alias and Dynamo for exploring the power of fast iteration of designs.

For information on getting started with Dynamo, see Dynamo Resources.
