Full Article:

The process of planning and developing curvilinear structures remains challenging. Multiple applications with various design principles are unlikely to fade away. The interoperability employed here was not the standard kind. It was also 'live, ‘real-time,' with two of the applications involved open and running at the same time. A design workflow based on the use of form-forming software associated to building information modeling, BIM, was presented. The main objective was to offer simpler ways to design and create curvilinear designs and their supporting structures utilizing two distinct types of applications simultaneously. This study offered a design process incorporating 3D modeling in a graphical interface (Rhinoceros/ArchiCAD) with visual programming-based design (Grasshopper). This clarifies the rules and permits for control over form-generating principles. The objective of this research was determining steel structures dimensions utilizing visual programming and compatibility amongst BIM systems. The outcomes are a set of algorithms for dimensioning specific structures.
