About the course
This course introduces axis-based and tendon modelling within the Rhino Interface. It covers the complete workflow from project setup to advanced handling using Grasshopper components. Topics include creating and editing axes, defining placements, controlling interpolation settings, and modelling tendons along predefined geometries. The course explains how axes define the structural backbone and how tendons are integrated parametrically for prestressing applications. Special focus is given to discretisation, alignment, and accurate placement control. The workflow enables efficient generation of parametric structural models and provides a robust basis for further structural analysis and design tasks.
What you'll learn
- Create and manage axes in Rhino Interface
- Define axis placements for structural elements
- Control interpolation settings for precise geometry
- Model tendons parametrically along structural axes
- Prepare parametric models for analysis and design workflows
