generative modeling for Rhino
DIVA-for-Rhino is a plugin which runs thermal, daylight, solar radiation, and glare simulations. Our goal is to bring validated environmental simulations directly to the conceptual design environments of Rhino and GH without going through the black box of third party software.

Hi Jeff,
I have an educational version of Rhino SR9 (12-Aug-2010), and I get an error saying I need a newer version. When I click 'check for updates' the webpage states that I have the newest version.
Please advice,
Thank you very much,
Itai
For the daylight simulation component, I was wondering if there is anyway to change the simulation settings in grasshopper rather than doing it in Rhino. I'd like to run a simulation for radiation nodes for the summer months and then for the winter months. Ideally, I'd like to have one simulation component for each set of months, so that I can get the data for both simulations into grasshopper at the same time. Is this possible? If not, has anyone figured out any useful workarounds for this type of situation.
Thanks,
Ben
Thank you so much.
It worked.
All you basicly need to do is make sure your project name changes for every analysis run. you can do this by using the concatenate component This will guarantee that a unique IDF file is created for each run.

I have attached an example definition used to explain what I mean The definition uses a slider to not only change the name of each run but to change the size of glazing.
Hi Jon,
Is there a way to add a slider in the viper component (like the one in DIVA). It can help when running parametric simulations using Galapagos.
Thank you.
Yes, that solved the problem. Thanks.
Hello. I've been looking forward to run DIVA in my computer, but when I drag the DIVA.rhp file to Rhino I get the message that I should get the latest release of Rhino. Nevertheless I run SR8 in Rhino4 with any problems. I have successfully installed all the other components (Radiance, Daysim, etc). I managed to install also the GH components. Could someone help me? Thanks.
Thanks for developing this great plug-in.
I have a few questions regarding the thermal analysis component.
In viper component, I can see that direct and diffuse solar energy are available in outputs. Is there anyway to extract the transmitted/absorbed solar energy into the zone?
Does the one of the Viper inputs, “People”(number of people/m2), take consideration into occupancy difference throughout the day? If so, is it possible to see what the different percentages are? Better yet, is it possible to customize the percentage on hourly basis?
When would DIVA 2.0 be publicly available? I can't wait to see it.
Thanks.
Yap it's back now,
Thanks,
