Evolutionary Principles applied to Problem Solving

This blog post is a rough approximation of the lecture I gave at the AAG10 conference in Vienna on September 21st 2010. Naturally it will be quite a different experience as the medium is quite different, but it my hope the basic premise of the lecture remains intact. This post deals with Evolutionary Solvers in general, but I use Rhino, Grasshopper and Galapagos to demonstrate the topics.

dear David,

I am trying to use data from Ecotect by using Geco and trying to optimize my facade to an optimal shape against the sunlight where it recieves the least abount of red on it. 

I would like to know if there is a way to convert the mesh colour from RGB to some usable value. Specially the red colour? So that I can link it with galapagos and find an optimal form?

Hi David,

I'm using DIVA for Rhino and Galapagos to generate architectural solutions. I'm using the Last version of GrassHopper. I have some troubles with the Galapagos parameters as Max stagnant and Population Number and also the Runtime limits. The problem is that Galapagos dont respect the values given to these parameters.(Screen shots)

Best regards,

Anis

Hey David,

I am having trouble using items from list generated from other grasshopper components inside VB component... i have posted the code that i am using in the discussion below, can you please have a look

Thanks

Hi David
thanks for your attention.
please check out out dissertation blog on www.hybios.blogspot.com. we are at the phase of computing the parameters of the project so any feedback is welcome.

Hi David,

Im trying to export my geometry from grasshopper as *.obj file and import it to rediance. what i need at the same time is to make a *.map file which assign the material of each object for the radiance, so i need to get every single objects name to compile the *.map file and i don't know how should i do that. can you help me with the script to extract all object names from vb script component? then i can use them in my new file. many thanks in advance,

Got it. I just had to flatten the contour output. thanks anywways. Can you tell me how i can add 2 points at the end of each mesh to get a lofted closed brep? I know how to do it on rhino, but how do i add oints with the curves in input to get the closed brep?

Hey david,

Im having problems lofting contour lines that i have created through metaball surfaces. please take a look at these files. Thanks in advance.nurbs%20from%20metal%20balls.3dmnumrbs%20from%20metal%20balls.gh
