Autodesk University Opening General Session

Learn how to extend Dynamo by creating Extensions. Rather than adding functionality with new nodes, Extensions are a development tool that allows you to change the whole Dynamo environment. Extensions can do things like access menus, views, the way nodes display, collect usage analytics, and so on.

The Developer Workshop is a chance for community members to push the envelope of what is possible with Dynamo. During the first part of the workshop, attendees will learn extension basics. After understanding the basics, attendees will be divided into smaller, handson breakout sessions where they will work with other Dynamo Developers on a focused extension topic. Attendees of this workshop will be expected to have a working knowledge of how to use a .Net development environment and have a fairly advanced knowledge of Dynamo.

A close up look at the possibilities realized by combining Inventor’s shape generator and mesh handling tools with modern 3D printing materials

Get started implementing generative design workflows for the AEC industry with this instructional demo on using Dynamo with Refinery.

This class is intended for those who would like to understand more about Autodesk's viewpoint on generative design and how it differs from other "generative design" technologies on the market. We will provide instruction on the current technologies, and we will investigate real world applications of generative design showing ROI and innovation!

Generative Urban Design: how Autodesk Research and Van Wijnen have collaborated to create a tool to generate layouts for residential housing projects in the Netherlands.

Autodesk Advanced Consulting and General Motors will present work from their collaboration on revolutionary new vehicles. We will look at the application of Fusion 360, generative design and Netfabb to achieve design for additive manufacturing.
