algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Hi - Is Pachyderm only for interior acoustic analysis or can I use it to test impacts of street noise? I am trying to position and shape 3 story residential buildings, with possible insertion of…Continue

Hi, I loaded Pachyderm into Rino 7 and tried a simple model in a box and it immediately crashed Rhino. I cycled through that a few times with the same result. I off loaded Rhino 7 and re-loaded…Continue

Hi Arthur,
Could I get the example file for Pachyderm? Because your website is down and the dropbox link is dead. Thanks before
Hi Arthur,
I'm still working on the model of the stadium, with acceptable results. I would like to know if with Pachyderm I can get graphs of the analyzed parameters (T30, EDT, SPL...) or I can see just the energy/pressure curves and the values of the other parameters.
Then, Pachyderm for GH is linked to the Rhino analysis? Or are they indipendent? I don't understand how to use the plug-in in Grasshopper...
Thanks for the availability.

I'm using the 64-bit Rhino in Windows, and I have 16Gb RAM, I don't think that is the problem. I noticed that the crash comes when starts "calculating image set..".
I'll try to install again pachyderm and also Rhinoceros if it's necessary.
My colleages at the office and I use the plugin often. It shouldn't be unstable. The only times I encounter this with users is generally if they are running in Parallels on a Mac, and that is a Rhino issue. Another possibility is that you don't have enough RAM to do what you want to do, or you are running in 32 bit, in which case the RAM you can use is limited (try again in 64-bit Rhino). If that is not the case, here are a few things to try:
1. check that none of the libraries are blocked. (right click all files in the installation and go to properrties, and if there is an unblock button in propertites, click it and apply.)
2. delete the .pset file in the pachyderm directory. (Pachyderm will make a new one).
3. Delete your Pachyderm directlory, and install again from the RC12 archive I provided earlier.
As for the blank receivers dropdown, I had forgotten about that issue. Just click in the white space of the dropdown and type the number of the receiver you want, and press tab. Then uncheck and check a source. That should work as a temporary workaround. (don't put in a number that does not match a receiver in the model, or it will crash). This will be fixed in a later version.
Sometimes it works, even if it's very ustable, but when I go to "Analysis" tab I receive this message: "Index is outside the matrix" and I can't see anything. Then, when I select a parameter (for example T-30, the software continues to crash).
Hi,
I followed the instructions on the site, I assigned the material (using one of the default materials) and I use 200000 rays for the simulation, but when I launched it, Rhinoceros crashed.
I tried to change the number of rays, the materials and other parameters, but the result is the same, the software crashes every time. What do you think is the problem?
Hi Antonio,
You do not need a closed box around the structure, though you will probably need a very high number of rays to get a good result from the model.
It might make sense for you to use the Rhinoceros interrface before you use the Grasshopper interface. (type Pachyderm_Acoustic in the command prompt to get started. Follow the instructions on the Pachyderm website)
There is an example in the Pachyderm RC12 archive:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21521713/Pachyderm2.0.0.1%20RC1...
Again, the Rhino and Grasshopper plugins talk to eachother, so you should have them both loaded, and you should have the Rhino model open before opening the grasshopper model.

Hi Arthur,
I'm sorry, I'm trying to set the model but I probably do something wrong. I saw that I need a source and at least one receiver for the simulation, but I don't know how to proceed.
First of all, I have a simplified model of the stadium, and obviously it's an opened structure (you can see a part of it in the image below). To the plug-in works, I need to create a kind of closed box around the structure?
Then, if it's possible, could you send me an example of a model where I can see how it works?
I'm really sorry but I'm completely new in this kind of software and analysis, and nobody in the department knows how to use this plug-in. Thanks for the patiance and the availability.
Hi,
Try with 200,000 rays, and please post a screenshot of your impulse response. (You will find this on the third tab of the Hybrid method interface).
