TopOpt is a Grasshopper tool and a research platform for the implementation of experimental topology optimization procedures targeted towards architectural design of structures. Developed by the Technical University of Denmark, Israel Institute of Technology and Aarhus School of Architecture,  TopOpt for Grasshopper provides a number of optimization methodologies that extends currently available methods based on the 99-line MATLAB code for basic mechanical topology optimization provided by…See More

BIM (Building Information Modeling) enhancements for Rhino and Grasshopper, import/export to Revit, Digital Project, Bentley and Archicad amongst others.  Also Structure modeling (including analytic) and Computational Geometry Tools such as mesh relaxation/inflation and tessellation tools.See More

Typically I use the shortcuts +1 or /2 to place operator components in the scene with the second input already loaded with the value. This does not seem to be working in the latest release. Wish: Renaming the input as the value? So -1 would name "B" to "1".See More

Slingshot! is a plug-in aimed at enabling Grasshopper to connect and share information with remote data sources.Slingshot! currently features an extensive collection of components for reading, writing, and managing relational database systems using SQL.See More

A group to explore and develop tools for the interoperation between Grasshopper and Revit.See More

Millipede is a structural analysis and optimization component for grasshopper. It allows for very fast linear elastic analysis of frame and shell elements in 3d, 2d plate elements for in plane forces, and 3d volumetric elements. All systems can be optimized using built in topology optimization methods and have their results extracted and visualized in a variety of ways.In addition millipede implements a few basic geometric features [extraction of iso surface meshes from volumetric scalar fields…See More
