The project consisted in explore the interoperability methods in BIM with computational design tools such as grasshopper and Dynamo. The form was generated in Rhino and Grasshopper, a twisted prism, that was analyzed with climate simulation (Ladybug). According to the result shown on the colored mesh, which data was exported to Excel, to make the decisions to create an adaptive panel in which the adjusting parameters would control the opening levels.
To transpolate this data into Revit, Rhino.inside was employed, whereas starting to model with detail in Dynamo. Creating the family of the panels, inserting into the model, creating the floors, walls, doors, everything parametrized in Dynamo.
The last step was about managing data inside the model. In order to do this, the finished Revit model was exported to an ifc. file. Therefore this lead to work with engines such as Python in different platforms such as Jupyter with Pandas library, and finally to visualize data about the elements in the model, Microsoft Power Bi was employed.
