# Dynamo

Dynamo is an [open-source](https://github.com/DynamoDS/Dynamo) visual programming application from Autodesk that aims to be accessible to non-programmers and programmers alike.

It gives users the ability to visually script behavior, define custom pieces of logic and run custom code segments using various textual programming languages.

Dynamo can be used as a standalone product (Sandbox) or can plug into other products such as Revit, Civil 3D, Alias, FormIt, Advance Steel, and Robot Structural Analysis.
