Struc Scripts
Faster Engineering Design & Modelling
Struc Scripts are a collection of grasshopper components for Structural Engineers
Modeller
Produce a rendered 3D model of your structure in seconds. Allows Rhino/Grasshopper to act more like traditional structural documentation software such as Revit or Tekla.
Simply assign section size, rotation and eccentricity to CAD lines or parametric lines to create 3D members.
Pre-loaded with Australian, UK, European and US steel sections (I sections, Channel sections, Hollow sections, Angles). Rectangle and Circle shapes are also supported for timber or concrete. See a full list in the notes or contact us to add other countries.
RC Sketcher
Draw 3D reinforced members quickly based on parametric inputs.
Create beams, columns, walls or slabs from simple lines with pre-arranged layouts
Main bars include top, bottom and side bars with optional cogs. Transverse bars include Ligs/Stirrups and bent bars.
Join members with additional loose bars such as L-bars, U-bars and Z-bars by adding them to any members
Creates a Bending Bar Schedule as an output (export to a spreadsheet)
Integrates with Struc-Scripts-Revit to create Revit Rebar

Frame Crafter
Reads an architectural model and creates a clean structural model. Save time on manual structural modelling.
Can take any building geometry as input
Cleans up overlapping, unconnected or skewed geometry
Finds or creates members and ensure they connect at nodes
Sets members and columns to consistent floor heights
Splits primary and secondary members as best as possible
Output to Rhino (for grasshopper or Revit), ETABS or SpaceGass

Resi Framer
Get structural design for your timber residential project in real-time
Turns any Architectural CAD file into a structural model
Attempts to design and size all the timber floor members
Attempts to checks the buildings bracing system

Auto Frame
Automatically create a structural beam layout for any building shape.
Turns multiple floor outlines into a framing plans
A structurally logical layout is generated based on external edges and internal walls
Control max spans, span direction and secondary centres

Autowind
A script to automatically determine wind load distribution on a building.
Input simple lines representing a building
Apply wind load in 1 of 4 directions with output for each face
Output plugs straight in to grasshopper structural analysis (Karamba or Kiwi)
ETABS & Spacegass Conversion
A simple one click way to get your ETABS or Spacegass structural model into Grasshopper or Rhino.
Input the ETABS/Spacegass file
Optionally use Modeller above for a rendered view

Composite Designer
A script to design composite steel beams straight from a model in real-time.
Input is simple lines representing beams
Loading is determined from layout. Composite beam reference design is calculated based on AS 2327:2017 and typical office loading.
Pre-camber and stud numbers are tagged on each member

Timber Designer
A script to design timber members straight from a model in real-time.
Input is simple lines representing beams
Loading is determined from layout. Beam design is calculated based on AS 1720.1:2010 using your choice of typical loading and timber grades.
Design is tagged on each member

Truss Analysis
A script to speed up Tension-Compression truss analysis.
Get structural actions, deflections and reactions quickly
See analysis in a compact form directly in the model

Struc Scripts Revit
Struc Scripts Revit is a separate package that integrates Struc Scripts into Revit
RC Sketcher Revit
Export rebar from the Struc Scripts RC Sketcher to Revit
SpaceGass to Revit (dynamo script)
Get your SpaceGass project into Revit.
Use Dynamo Player (already built into Revit) to load the dynamo script
No plugins or software packages required!
Download the dynamo script here

Note: Struc Scripts only supports the features listed on this page. It does not support all of the functionality sometimes demonstrated in our videos.
