Welcome to Kudu
Kudu is a Grasshopper component library which exposes CSi API methods, allowing control of SAP2000, ETABS, & SAFE functionality from within Grasshopper.
Design Philosophy
Kudu embeds CSi API methods inside Grasshopper components. Each Kudu component is a one-to-one representation of its equivalent API method. This gives unmitigated control of CSi API methods to the Kudu user and allows for unlimited customization. What's more: Kudu does not obscure data in an object model, which allows users to easily add additional functionality with their own CSi API custom scripts.
