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

CHAMELEONChameleon is a plugin for Grasshopper with a focus on interoperability, simulation, and efficient practice workflows. Chameleon’s main advantage is its ability to facilitate easy transfer of geometric data between Grasshopper and Autodesk Revit.  A Revit Adaptive Component tool allows Grasshopper to control the placement and parameter values of Adaptive Components in Revit.  A read gbXML component allows gbXML data from Revit to be imported into Grasshopper for manipulation and…See More

Upcoming Grasshopper training schedule at McNeel Europe:This training will accompany designers into conceiving new shapes with generative algorithms. We will start with a theoretical and functional understanding of the graphical algorithm editor, and then dive into more complex parametric models. We’ll also learn tricks to keep our project responsive and enjoyable to use.Course outlinecovering similar content as the first part of the primer(…See More
