will krzymowski replied to M NICK's discussion Maximize the number of equal panels

"I think the question is about making units that are duplicates. Like if you had a paneled surface where 90% of the panels had 2-3 duplicates it would be cheaper to manufacture, especially if a pattern or a jig was involved. So given that a…"

"Make them really, really small. Without further details this question has no answer. And even with all the available details it may still have no answer. -- David Rutten david@mcneel.com Poprad, Slovakia"

John Harding replied to M NICK's discussion GetDataTree Problem

"Sorry to butt in, but perhaps you could try the GH_Structure<GH_Number>.get_DataItem(GH_Path path, int index) method to get your doubles and then reconstruct your tree/ do multiplication/ whatever. I have used the simpler get_DataItem(int…"

Pirouz Nourian replied to M NICK's discussion GetDataTree Problem

"Hi David, I have a similar problem with a GH_Structure(of GH_Number). I've written a code that perfectly functions in Grasshopper, but when I build it as a GHA, it gives an error because it cannot do a multiplication between a GH_Number…"

M NICK commented on Robert Vier's group Octopus

"Thanks for the info. Two more questions: 1) there is no way that I pass the range other than slider? 2) WHAT is the slider in the pareto frontier? Is it narrowing down the pareto frontier?"

Octopus

Octopus is seen as an extension to Galapagos by introducing multiple fitness values to the optimization. The best trade-offs between those objectives are searched, producing a set of possible optimum solutions that ideally reach from one extreme trade-off to the other uniformly. Results are shown in a two- to five-dimensional, 3D-navigable solution-viewport. User-preferences on specific solutions can be specified when the optimization is paused, so the further optimization gets densfied around…See More

karamba replied to M NICK's discussion Optimize Cross Section in the group karamba

"Hi Massa, the cross sections that come out of the 'disassemble model'-component know to which elements they belong to. You could use these for re-assembling the model. Best, Clemens"

Optimize Cross Section

Hi all, When I optimize cross section, after disassemble the model and then the elements, I want to have each designed cross section written on the elements, how can I do that?ThanksMassaSee More

karamba replied to M NICK's discussion Von Mises Stress in the group karamba

"Hi Nick, there is no Von Mises Stress output for beams in Karamba. The reason is that the maximum shear stress and normal stress normally occur in different places of a beam cross section: the peak axial normal stress at the outer cross section…"
