What is Dynamo BIM?

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 or can be used on its own, or in conjunction with other programs as a lightweight computational design sketch place. Dynamo’s own built-in visualization capabilities to see results quickly, accurately, and colorfully.

Automation in BIM with Dyanmo

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Dynamo with Revit software for making my work easy smart. Just for example I use Dynamo script in my Revit to place hanger in model where hanger actually needed. In my script I can set a standard to place a hanger on pipe or duct.
