# Dynamo®

BEAM includes Dynamo nodes that allow you to read information from *.beam* files directly inside Dynamo.

Use BEAM.Import to access all geometry together with its metadata from a selected *.beam*. Provide the file name as a string, and the node will return the information as flat lists or a dictionary.

Alternatively, you can use BEAM.History to browse through the history of exports. Combine it with a *Get Item at Index* node to retrieve the specific *.beam* you want to work with.
