Model insights with Claude · create, analyse, optimise

Interact with your analysis model in natural language, quickly spot caveats in a model, or build whole structures from a sketch - and much more. This is just the beginning of a new journey: test it and leave feedback - we're eager to learn from you what to improve.

Parametric models

COCODRILO · PARAMETRIC Model

Drag to orbit · scroll to zoom

Gridshell · analytical model + results

The same Grasshopper definition that builds the geometry also assigns sections, materials, loads and supports, runs the analysis and reads results back. Every input change is a full structural model, not just a shape. Output it in your desired analysis software and it is ready to run there.

One model in the middle

Interoperability

BIM ↔ Grasshopper ↔ FEM, one model in the middle.

Cocodrilo's StructuralModel is the neutral hub. Pull geometry and data in from BIM, shape it parametrically in Grasshopper, and push a clean analytical model out to your FEM solver - a round-trip, not a one-way export.

The neutral hub for your analysis stack

Author it once in Grasshopper, push it to the solver your office runs on, and bring the results back to the same source of truth.

Round-trip exchange · Fully Parametric Analyses Models

Switch between the targets to see the same model rendered the way each solver draws it - an ETABS shear-wall frame, a Strand7 shell contour, an IFC or Revit handover.
