Although the complexity of building standards is a challenge, the speed and quality of various generative algorithms are still major limitations.

- yarbas89 4y agoThanks for linking augmenta. I was wondering if you know of other similar companies? I'm an experienced structural engineer who's just completed an MSc in Comp.Sci. I want to combine the two disciplines and so far I've only been looking for consultants who utilise parametric design (Rhino + Grasshopper).
- brutusborn 4y agoNo problem! I don’t know of any other multidiscipline generative design companies, but for process plant design there is OptiPlant and PipeStream. There are a lot in the architecture space but these are mostly for high level conceptual design. In my experience many structural engineers code and use simple parametric models. Finding a company using actual generative design algorithms is still rare but there are definitely engineering teams out there who value comp.sci skills.
