Dynamo BIM
Score 8.0 out of 10
N/A
Dynamo is an open-source software platform for computational design and building information modeling (BIM). Through a visual interface, construct logic routines to smooth and automate workflows, find optimum solutions, and sift through design options. The commercial product Dynamo Studio is discontinued and will be excluded from Autodesk's suite of products (capabilities of Dynamo Studio now appear as part of Revit itself). However, Dynamo’s open-source version still works with Autodesk Revit…

Dynamo is the main tool for making BIM automation very well . By using Dyanmo our work take less time to complete. After correct Dynamo script applying in Revit most of the time work take less time to complete in a smart way . I think coding and Dyanmo will make a better combination in BIM field.

PTC Creo is great for assemblies that multiple users are collaborating on. Models can reference other models that someone in another department has released and when those models are changed, the referenced parts and assemblies are changed. These changes are very helpful when working on collaborative machine designs and comparing forging dies with the final parts.

I liked the training manuals I used to learn some, as I didn’t have CAD background in college or before this job. My coworkers were able to share with me what they learned in PTC training and I was able to get support online and through reading.

I think Dyanmo is a basic to advance version of automation in BIM Industry so we choose Dynamo against any other software. Many of our people knows about the software so training of this software is become easy for organisation. On YouTube we have found many videos about Dyanmo. Most important it take less money and save very much time of our employees.

Learning curve of SOLIDWORKS is higher compared to Creo, however, stability and more design control is provided by Creo. Creo also have more robust and stable interfaces. For larger assemblies, Creo works better than SOLIDWORKS. New upgrades of Creo has given liberty to open different file data of different software without any file conversion. Creo costs comparable to SOLIDWORKS cost, with more capabilities.
