Automating Structural Design and Carbon Counting with Dan Cole

?? Speaker Spotlight: Dan Cole - Revolutionizing Structural Design and Sustainability?

Dan Cole ole, a Senior Structural Engineer at Webb Yates Engineers es Engineers, is at the forefront of integrating computational design and sustainability. With a Master’s in Civil Engineering from the University of Bath and extensive experience on diverse projects, Dan has been instrumental in developing innovative tools like Cactus, a parametric carbon modeling tool. His work focuses on utilizing parametric design to enhance efficiency and sustainability in structural design. At the Rhino User Meeting, Dan will showcase how Webb Yates Engineers are using ShapeDiver and Grasshopper to automate early-stage structural design and carbon counting.?

?? Meet the Expert: "I am Dan Cole, a Senior Structural Engineer and Digital Group lead at Webb Yates Engineers, an award-winning sustainability-driven, multidisciplinary engineering practice based in London. I lead a computational design group and am passionate about using parametric tools to drive efficiency and sustainability in engineering."?

?? What I'll Be Sharing: "I will be presenting Cactus, our in-house parametric carbon modeling tool. This session will cover how we leverage ShapeDiver and other technologies to create software that automates structural designs and calculates their environmental impact."?

?? My Journey with Rhino: "I first encountered Rhino and Grasshopper during my studies at the University of Bath. Since then, I have developed my skills further at Webb Yates, using Rhino to create Cactus—a bespoke software tool that exemplifies the power of computational design."?

?? What's Shaping the Future: "The synergy between sustainable and computational design is particularly exciting. By combining these fields, we are creating new opportunities and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in engineering."?

?? What I'm Looking Forward To: "I’m eager to meet fellow AEC professionals and explore the latest innovations. I hope attendees will gain insights into how small tools can solve significant problems, minimizing repetitive tasks and focusing on the most exciting aspects of projects."?

?? A Fun Fact About Me: "One of my first projects involved designing a single-storey basement as large as 40 Olympic swimming pools."?

Join us at the Rhino User Meeting to learn from Dan Cole about the future of structural design and sustainability through innovative tools and computational design.?
