Unlocking the Power of Automation with iLogic and Dynamo Programming Services

Programming services

At Design Consulting, we understand the importance of efficiency and precision in today’s fast-paced design and construction environment. That’s why we specialise in enhancing these aspects through advanced programming services for Autodesk applications. Two of our standout services are iLogic for Inventor and Dynamo for Revit. In this post, I’ll delve into how these tools can revolutionise your workflow and why we are your go-to partner for implementing them.

What is iLogic?

iLogic is a powerful automation tool within Autodesk Inventor that allows you to create rules-driven designs. It simplifies complex tasks by embedding engineering knowledge and design intent directly into the Inventor models. With iLogic, you can automate repetitive tasks, ensure consistency, and reduce errors.

Key Features of iLogic:

  • Automated Design Changes: iLogic enables you to create models that automatically adjust to changes in parameters. This dynamic adaptability is crucial for custom manufacturing and product development.
  • Automated 2D Drawings: Through a set of rules, drawing sheets, views and dimensions can be automated.
  • Configuration Management: By using rules, you can manage multiple configurations of a product, ensuring each variation meets your specific requirements.
  • Integration with Excel: iLogic can read and write data to and from Excel, making it easier to handle complex calculations and data management tasks.
  • Enhanced Customisation: Build forms for configuration, automate bill of materials management, and create custom commands to streamline your workflow.

What is Dynamo?

Programming services

Dynamo is a visual programming tool that works seamlessly with Autodesk Revit. It enables designers and engineers to create custom workflows and automate tasks, enhancing the capabilities of Revit without the need for extensive coding knowledge.

Key Features of Dynamo:

  • Visual Programming Interface: Dynamo’s node-based interface allows you to create programs by connecting pre-built blocks, making it accessible even to those with no programming background.
  • Enhanced Design Exploration: With Dynamo, you can explore complex geometries and design alternatives quickly and efficiently.
  • Data Management: Automate data extraction, manipulation, and reporting processes, improving accuracy and saving time.
  • Interoperability: Dynamo scripts can interact with various data sources and applications, providing a versatile platform for complex workflows.

Benefits of Using iLogic and Dynamo

Both iLogic and Dynamo offer significant benefits to design professionals:

  • Increased Productivity: Automation reduces the time spent on repetitive tasks, allowing designers to focus on more creative and high-value activities.
  • Improved Accuracy: By embedding rules and automating data handling, these tools minimise the risk of human error.
  • Cost Efficiency: Streamlined workflows and reduced errors translate to lower project costs and faster delivery times.
  • Customisation: Tailor the tools to your specific needs, ensuring they align perfectly with your project requirements.

Design Automation with Inventor: Boosting Efficiency and Productivity

Autodesk Inventor iLogic design automation services and training

In today’s fast-paced world, businesses are constantly seeking innovative ways to streamline their design processes and enhance productivity. One such solution is design automation, which empowers engineers and designers to automate repetitive tasks and focus on more complex aspects of their projects. In this blog, we will delve into the world of design automation with Autodesk Inventor, exploring the utilisation of iLogic, macros, the Inventor API, and Forge Design Automation. Let’s embark on this journey towards increased efficiency and productivity!

Leveraging iLogic for Design Automation

iLogic is a powerful feature integrated into Autodesk Inventor that allows users to automate design processes by defining rules and logic. By creating iLogic rules, designers can automate repetitive tasks, customise designs based on specific parameters, and streamline the overall design workflow. This section will discuss the fundamentals of iLogic, provide practical examples, and showcase its potential for design automation.

Streamlining Design with Macros

Macros offer another excellent way to automate design processes in Autodesk Inventor. A macro is a script or set of commands that can be executed to perform repetitive tasks automatically. With macros, designers can automate complex sequences of actions, such as generating parts, assemblies, or drawings, significantly reducing the time and effort required. This section will explore the basics of using macros, highlight their benefits, and provide code examples for practical implementation.

Extending Functionality with the Inventor API

The Inventor API (Application Programming Interface) provides developers with a powerful toolset to extend the capabilities of Autodesk Inventor. By utilizing the API, designers can create custom applications, add-ins, and scripts that automate specific design tasks or enhance existing functionalities. This section will introduce the Inventor API, discuss its key features, and demonstrate how it can be leveraged to automate repetitive design processes effectively.

Harnessing the Power of Autodesk Platform Services

Autodesk Platform Services (aka Forge) is a cloud-based platform that enables the automation of design and engineering workflows at scale. By integrating Forge Design Automation with Autodesk Inventor, businesses can automate time-consuming tasks, reduce manual errors, and improve collaboration among teams. This section will provide an overview of Forge Design Automation, discuss its benefits, and explore real-world examples of how it can enhance design automation processes.

Revit Architecture and MEP Workflows

Building and Internal Airflow Analysis using Revit, Simulation CFD, Dynamo and Autodesk Cloud Rendering

We all need to collaborate better and a picture speaks a thousands words. Typically BIM collaboration has largely been done by linking in Architectural, MEP and Structural models but when you combine BIM models and computational fluid dynamic analysis, the results are limitless as the video below illustrates how Architects, MEP designers and Engineers can collaborate better through Autodesk Revit.

Autodesk Revit to Simulation CFD

Autodesk Revit CFD 0 CFD Simulation Moving at the Speed of Business

Once the Revit model has been shared with the Engineer and they have completed their analysis, results can be exported to a spreadsheet.

Until recently, there’s been no way of importing those results into Revit to coordinate CFD analysis with a BIM model, however, through Dynamo visual scripting we are able to bridge the gap between excel data and BIM modelling.

Sending CFD Results as Models to Revit via Dynamo

Autodesk Dynamo Training Fundamentals Course. For Revit, Advance Steel or Civil 3D or customised to suit your project needs.

Dynamo is a visual scripting language that has suport for a wide range of formats and in this scenario we imported CFD coordinate data and positioned them correctly to be able to visualise results with the BIM model, to coordinate with various stakeholders to make better design choices.

Autodesk Cloud Rendering

combining Revit, dynamo, simulation cfd and Autodesk cloud rendering

Using the Autodesk Cloud Rendering service, a panorama render can be processed in the cloud and shared amongst non-CAD users and either using a browser, the recipient of the file can view in 360 the impacts of the design and the airflow behaviour.

Optionally, you can be immersed into a virtual reality environment using any popular VR headset and device.
