"Dear Jon, Today I run my calculations with the 4 tie tension elements (see image 2 and 3, 4 corner points). The calculation duration was a half hour and no output because the max cycles were reached (1000000). When I select "link" instead…"

"Hey Jon, I've a question about the GSA link settings in Grasshopper. How can I define the link settings in the SSI plug-in? I want to set the link on only tension but can't find a way to do this. Thanks in advance, "

pre-stress in hypar surface

Hi,For my thesis I'm trying to build a parameterized simple hypar surface template. Using Kangaroo I want to extend this model with a membrane form finding tool to use in the early design phase. I came up with this solution (also see attached file). I get a nice result, however I can't find a way to implement 1kN/m pre-stress in the mesh. Do anyone now how to do this?…See More

"Dear Micheal, Yep I'm Dutch, currently I'm a student at the Hogeschool Rotterdam. As far as I know we don't have a GSA license at the HRO. Thanks for the tip! Wouter"

Pre-stress on mesh using StructDrawRhino

Dear experts,I'm quite new with Grasshopper so forgive me if my question is obvious. For my bachelor thesis I am trying to build a Gh parameterized model for a simple hypar surfaces, at the same time I want to include a form finding parameterized template.I know it is possible with Kangaroo, my plan is to try build the form finding template using StructDrawRhino and Kangaroo and compare the output. Using SDR I tried to use the ggforcedensityrelax option, however is it possible to add…See More
