This article describes how cutting‐edge, parameter‐based computational engineering techniques have been used to undertake the conception, analysis and documentation of the 2500 complex steelwork connections in the exoskeleton of the new Morpheus Hotel in Macau. It discusses the tools, methodologies and strategies devised by the engineering team to automate the time‐consuming model creation and data‐handling operations associated with the finite element analysis, enabling them to complete this challenging part of the project in just 12 months.
