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 Grasshopper.See More

"Ok, I haven't really looked at your files in detail, but I could give possible issues with recreating your physical model digitally: (1) The starting mesh for each column has to be the same shape and relative size of the cutting pattern or…"

"Hi Daniel, I tried working with the script you made but i think it is not much of use in this case. We tried to do a physical experiment with basic cylinder shaped in different angles to understand the deflection when plaster is cast into them. I…"

"Actually I have to admit that I have both installed but not really played with them much. The Karamba guys have some videos on their group page. Millipede is really new. As far as I know, there's just the manual."

Millipede

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

"Hi Diederik, Do you know of any video tutorials for Karamba and Millipede? Thanks!"

"One thing in Kangaroo that could be helpful for fabric formwork is the depth-dependent pressure force. I originally added it for buoyancy in sailing simulations a while back, but I think the same principle is relevant here. It applies a force normal…"

"Hi Diederik, Thanks for you reply. I will definitely try Karamba and millipede plug-ins for grasshopper. I am registered for the conference too and am a member of the facebook group too. Myself and a colleague are doing our dissertation on flexible…"

Diederik Veenendaal replied to Suraj Suthar's discussion Fabric Formwork

"Well, both Karamba and Millipede are Grasshopper plug-ins with structural optimzation features. Resulting geometries should then be approximated with a fabric. So results from Karamba and/or Millipede can serve as input for Kangaroo. I'm also…"
