algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Hi everyone-
I would be curious to know if it's at all possible to iteratively pass galapagos through a series of solutions...basically, I have a solver set up now that optimizes the various orientation drivers for a steel connection detail between a steel structural member and the back of a stone panel...it's something like a simplified lobster...it tries to orient the the elements so that there isn't any collision issues with other pieces (and various other structural considerations)...it works really well as it is...however, I have to manually iterate through all of the desired connection points (there are hundreds of them)
What I would love is to be able to sequence my anchor points and execute a series of galapagos solutions. This also would entail baking the geometry and re-referencing it for calculating collisions on the next bits. Is there some way I can engage with Galapagos via scripting? Or perhaps hoopsnake could work?
Galapagos has already helped out tremendously, as this particular detail represents a connection type for all of those areas that can't be solved via algorithm with other details (there are several thousand connection points in the model) and requires "hand" tooling with sliders to get it right...with Galapagos as the "hand" it's working great, finding some really interesting and novel solutions. But it sure would be awesome if I could attack several of them in order without changing my referenced curves and running Galapagos manually.
