Description

TopOpt is a Grasshopper tool and a research platform for the implementation of experimental topology optimization procedures targeted towards architectural design of structures.
 
Developed by the Technical University of Denmark, Israel Institute of Technology and Aarhus School of Architecture,  TopOpt for Grasshopper provides a number of optimization methodologies that extends currently available methods based on the 99-line MATLAB code for basic mechanical topology optimization provided by prof. Ole Sigmund of DTU.
 
The current alpha-release features 2d topology optimization based on the interactive optimization app developed for iOS and Android; topology optimization of continuum structures with tension and compression prioritization; and dual material topology optimization for optimization of composite structures with materials of varying properties.
 
Interactive visualization, 3d-optimization and further methodological extensions will be included in coming updates

Problems with TopOpt

by Richard Tsai

Aug 25, 2015

Hi,

I am just running through the tutorials (1st simple beam set-up) and when trying to run the solver I get an error "1. Solution exception:Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I double-checked the settings and it looks right to me.

What seems to be the problem?

    Hi, 

    Can you please send me the rhino file with the defined geometry, so that I can try reproduce the error and hopefully find its origin?

    Thanks,

    Oded
