Neat Workflows are experts in the strategic design of parametric modelling and data storage systems that can be used for one-off projects or developed for re-use across multiple projects or products. From automated analysis model creation, optimisation, and rationalisation to fully parametric fabrication model and documentation pipelines.
Parameteric Modelling
We can enable the automated creation of Analysis and CAD models through parametric workflows. Utilising the latest tools avaliable, we can help streamline the workflows for the creation, analysis, design and optimisation of structural systems.
Automated loading generation
Integration with Excel and other data formats
Link Structural Analysis with BIM software such as Revit and Tekla
Automated reporting from the model
Automated connection modelling
We can recommend and work with existing tools, linked with in-house software to provide cost effective project solutions. Some of the tools we work with on a regular basis are:
If no available tool exists to automate your structural software application, we can discuss implementing such a tool through our software development services.
Contact us for more information on how we can help on your project.
Automated Fabrication
We utilize native Rhino3d and Grasshopper3d to enable automated pipelines for fabrication drawings and/or exports for machine cutting - All without the requirement to use expensive detailing software.
Geometry and text processing to combine models from different sources
Conversion of analysis model outputs to generate fabrication information
Outputs specific to your requirements.
The flexibility of the process allows for the injection of data and CAD models from all types of sources and combining them using advanced geometry database techniques that can be later translated to create outputs specific your requirements.

Manual Approach
Wait till the engineering design is completed before starting modelling.
8 weeks full-time CAD modelling.
If a change occurs, identify and remodel all effect parts. Approx 1-2 days for each change. The design changed up to 8 times. (3 weeks)
Total time = 11 weeks
Automated Approach
Create a script while the design of the structure is still underway.
Two weeks to create the custom script to transform the Analysis model to Fabrication output.
Automatic reproduction of drawings on any update. Approx 2 hrs for each change in Design. (2 days)
Total Time = 2.5 weeks

Optimization and Rationalisation
Optimizing and rationalizing structural systems is essential for achieving sustainable, efficient, and fabrication-ready designs. By leveraging visual programming, custom scripts, or fully tailored applications, we can streamline optimisation and rationalisation across multiple platforms.
