Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

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 or and extraction of curved contours over any mesh] and a few numerical analysis tools [Fast fourier transforms in 1 and 2 dimensions, sparse linear system solver and eigenvalue calculation for large matrices using functionality from the intel math kernel library]

Millipede can be downloaded at www.sawapan.eu

Absolutely brilliant work, look forward to having a play!  I was wondering when these would make it into GH... great job.

Woooo! amazing work man! thanks for share!

I think this wins the award for coolest component visuals....love the alpha and hard edge connections. 

The isosurface stuff is excellent!

Absolutely stunning project,finally topostruct made its way to Grasshopper.

This looks great, I will have a loot at it.

Wow! What a stunning website.

I'm looking forward to experimenting with Millipede
