Real time CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics)  for GrasshopperSee More

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

Heliotrope: a lightweight solar geometry tool for Rhino/Grasshopper.  Components to generate solar vectors, manipulate astronomical dates, and cast shadow silhouettes.Works with both Rhino 4 and 5.See More

-Refract-Flow-Surface/Target Ray (reflect)Sonic is a Grasshopper plugin that allows you to cast multiple rays, calculate reflections(bounces), calculate flow paths down a sloped surface. (eg. water runoff) Plus Added Math components.See More

I'm pleased to announce a brand new update to the Grasshopper Plug-in formerly known as HDT Utilities, and now called Human!Why the name change? My colleague Marc Syp at NBBJ pointed out that no one knew what HDT meant (Heumann Design/Tech, but that was unclear) and that I was missing an opportunity to follow the typical…See More

Ladybug is a free and open source environmental plugin for Grasshopper to help designers create an environmentally-conscious architectural design. Ladybug allows you to: import and analyze standard weather data in Grasshopper; draw diagrams like Sun-path, wind-rose, radiation-rose, etc; customize the diagrams in several ways; run radiation analysis, shadow studies, and view analysis for your design inside Grasshopper!Ladybug only works on Rhino 5.0. Unfortunately, there is no version for Rhino…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

CHAMELEONChameleon is a plugin for both Grasshopper and Revit 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, but also includes other valuable tools to make life easier, both in Grasshopper and Revit.See More

goat is an optimization solver add-on component. It perfectly complements galapagos, David Rutten's evolutionary solver based on a randomized core. goat pursues a mathematical rigorous approach and relies on gradient-free optimization algorithms, delivering fast and deterministic results. At every run, goat will yield the same optimal result.goat is a drop-in replacement for galapagos. It is based on David Rutten's galapagos GUI and interfaces…See More
