importance of vectors / nodes

I am trying to simulate two surfaces (annual irradiation analysis). One surface will be divided, the other one will not be divided (see script). I have some problems with getting good results. The first surface receives a invalid amount of irradiation (should be ten times higher), the other one seems better. If I would raise the z-component of the nodes with 1 mm, it will gives better results. Is there something wrong with my codes or is it simply that you cannot have the nodes in the same…See More

"Okay thanks. Yes, I would like to trim the panels to the surface. I am looking forward to this update in PT-GH .. in the meantime I will stick to the Rhino PanelingTools. "

"Hi Jouri, Looks like you have a planar surface, but it is trimmed. I assume you would like the panels to be trimmed to the surface. While this functionality is available in the PanelingTools for Rhino, it is not ported to PT-GH yet,…"

paneling irregular surface

I am quite new to the panelling tool in Grasshopper and my question is probably (and hopefully) easy to solve.. but I don't know how to do it. I have an irregular surface which I want to divide in panels with a absolute length (let's say 3x3 metres). With the panelling tool in Grasshopper I can divide rectangular surfaces, but I don't know how the do it with the surface in my file. I want it to follow the surface, not making a rectangular surface of it. Thanks for the help!/JouriSee More

"Thanks! Does the resolution of the meshes matter? DIVA seems to generate the same picture even though there is a difference in resolution. "

"Hi Jouri, The DIVA grasshopper component can run the analysis as an image or as nodes. The quickest way for multiple surfaces is the image, the setup looks like this: and produces a resulting image like this: this was for a Boston weather…"

Solar radiation

Hi all, I have used D4R in the Rhino environment, but now I am trying to run simulations through the Grasshopper interface. What I would like to do is the following: In the attached file are a couple of buildings. I would like to see how much annual solar radiation they receive. I looked at the tutorial and on the website, but I haven't really managed to get the solar radiation simulation working. Is there someone who is willing to upload a Grasshopper code how to run an annual solar analysis…See More

Export minimum solar radiation to a mesh

Hi,I am new to both Grasshopper & the GECO interface to Ecotect and I tried to solve the following issue:With the code I found for doing the Solar Access Analysis, I am able to make a mesh from one surface, run an annual solar irradiation analysis. It works also with multiple surfaces, but if you want to be able to adjust every surface, you can make use of several of the MeshUV components, but I am only able to feed in only one of these components in the 'export mesh to ecotect' component.…See More
