I have to define what a grasshopper is in an academic way. Does anyone know how to define it correctly, preferably in German?
I haven’t found a standard or anything like that to solve this.
Rhino would be referred to as a CAD software or CAD modeler, I think. With Grasshopper I can’t think of anything suitable for this and I can’t find anything.
Nodal programming is the term used for software tools that use blocks or nodes to create code. Another example of this is the MIT App Inventor programming tool which is based on the earlier Scratch software that was/is used to teach program logic to elementary school students.
So I’d call Grasshopper a nodal programming interface (or front-end) for Rhino.
Gerne! Zusätzlich noch irgendwie ne Umschreibung für node based würde gh zwar noch mehr gerecht, aber im Deutschen hört sich das alles immer so doof und zu lang an.
