Rhino / Grasshopper for Structural Engineers Online Workshop
June 30 - July 2, 2025
10:00 AM – 5:00 PM CEST (Barcelona)
Tutor: Junghwo Park
Hosted Online by McNeel Europe

Structural engineering focuses on analyzing given geometries to calculate, optimize, or aesthetically refine structures, ensuring they can stand without failure while fulfilling the designer’s intentions. Long before the advent of CAD software, engineers mathematically defined material properties, loads, and support conditions in accordance with design codes, verifying their calculations through physical model experiments. In architectural design, early parametric approaches were introduced by pioneers such as Antoni Gaudí and have since evolved into contemporary practices, where architects and engineers use tools like Rhino and Grasshopper. These tools are now widely integrated with structural engineering software such as SOFiSTiK, Tekla, Dlubal, SCIA, and Karamba3D, bridging design, analysis, and documentation workflows. This integration enables seamless data exchange across BIM platforms and fosters interdisciplinary collaboration throughout all project phases.

The workshop is taught by Junghwo Park, Head of innovation and technology center in Virtual Design and Construction at Umdasch Group Ventures and certified BIM trainer by buildingSMART Austria, and is designed for structural engineers who want to learn how to use Rhino and Grasshopper for parametric BIM engineering.
