Octopus Loop - How to use
Hello everyone,very new to grasshopper, I want to repeat a process taking place on a grid multiple times using a Loop. I did it using the Anemone Loop which was great and easier for me to understand, but gets very slow when I increase the grid cells. So I decided to use the Octopus Loop, but my…

Automatically run solver and output best solution after N generations
Below is a schematic of what I want to do, namely:Trigger a solver like Octopus or Galapagos from within a definition (not by double-clicking the component), run the solver for a fixed number of generations, then only output the best solution (I only have 1 evaluation metric)Optionally, I would…

Using a complicated loop with Galapagos/Octopus
Hi!I have a pretty complex code that’s making an urban planning system to construct blocks and tiles.I made a loop with anemone as I can’t seem to make the Octopus loop work at all (it only does the first stage of the loop and keeps copying it over and over instead of moving forward: which works…

Triangulate surface
Hello everyone!I don't know how to use grasshopper very well and I need help with something that I can't find a solution to. I'm trying to create the roof of the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo and I started doing that by creating triangle surfaces from 2 curves. I want to control each surface in…

Octopus is a plug-in for applying evolutionary principles to parametric design and problem solving. It allows the search for many goals at once, producing a range of optimized trade-off solutions between the extremes of each goal.
Also see octopus.E for custom evolutionary algorithms.

It is part of a range of tools developed at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and Bollinger+Grohmann Engineers.
Octopus introduces multiple fitness values to the optimization. The best trade-offs between those objectives are searched, producing a set of possible optimum solutions that ideally reach from one extreme trade-off to the other.
Based on SPEA-2 and HypE from ETH Zürich and David Rutten's Galapagos User Interface. Developed by Robert Vierlinger in cooperation with Christoph Zimmel, karamba3d.com and Bollinger+Grohmann Engineers.
