How to add collider geometry 6 Replies

I find WASP to be a really cool tool to create aggregations. I worked with it throughout the semester and learned what it can do. However I cannot figure out what to use for the COLL input on the…Continue

thank you!

I am not sure I understand your question. Could you exaplin me what do you mean by restriction rules?

Comment by Cesar Arroyo on December 9, 2017 at 3:11pm: Hi Andrea,

Thanks for this amazing tool.

I was wonderig if there is a way to make restrictions rules?

Comment by Andrea Rossi on December 9, 2017 at 10:07am: Hi Ali,

you can use the TransformPart component to position one part in a specific location, and then provide this transformed part in the PREV input of the Aggregation components. In this way, the aggregation will start from that position.

I am working at finalizing the last touches to the new version of Wasp, and will add example files also for this.

Comment by ALI on December 8, 2017 at 3:26pm: Hi Andrea,How do I control the starting point of growth in aggregation process ?

Comment by Andrea Rossi on December 7, 2017 at 7:10am: Hi Henrik,

the PREV input is there to allow you to add a previous aggregation as a base on top of which to aggregate new modules. However, as these modules are still computed in the aggregation process, using it will not make your code faster.

Currently, the best way to achieve aggregations made of large groups is to split the aggregation in smaller sub-areas with small overlaps, and aggregate them independently, always providing the last parts as starting points for the next aggregation. I can send you a file, if you are interested.

In the new version of Wasp (will release it hopefully this weekend) there is the possibility of setting a threshold on the Field component, which allows, depending on your field, to speed up calculations, of couse sacrificing the precision of the field approximation.
If you want to take a look, you can download the work in progess components on the Github page: https://github.com/ar0551/Wasp/tree/master/userObjects

I am working on a "probabilistic" field aggregation, which should be much faster, but I am not sure of when I will have something usable. If you send me a PM with your email, I can keep you in the loop and let you know as soon as I have something.

Comment by Henrik Yang on December 7, 2017 at 4:03am: Hello Andrea,

Currently im working on a project using muqarnas as element to aggregate. As you can see it needs a very high iteration number. Then I saw this PREV input that i wonder if it would help my work to become more smooth? Can u show me an example where u set up the PREV? Does it save the old parts somehow? What does it do?

Best,

Henrik
