Futureproofing your conceptual design process to take advantage of modern construction techniques, such as volumetric modular buildings, will be a necessary step for all as we transition through the modern age of Design & Make.Using Autodesk Dynamo and Generative Design to create and transmit an automated modular massing to Forma, with the new Dynamo as a Service extension, will become the next step in the journey towards efficient analysis tailored to your design needs. Steve Thorne of Bird Construction will demonstrate how anyone can take the Stack Modular Design Guide and apply that information to a Dynamo Generative Design script configured to automatically generate a compliant massing to be passed into Forma, allowing one to take full advantage of its powerful analysis toolset.This session will empower the attendee to apply massing automation to any volumetric solution with a framework for paving the way to analyzing other modular assemblies.
