Info
FlexHopper offers physics computation in Grasshopper. It is GPU-based and therefor very fast. Currently supported modes of simulation are: free particles, fluids, rigid bodies, soft bodies, tensile structures and cloth, custom constraints.
FlexHopper is a Grasshopper plugin built on top of FlexCLI - Flex Common Language Interface. FlexCLI is built against NVidia Flex release 1.1.0. NVidia Flex is patented property of NVidia. FlexCLI and FlexHopper are openly accessible under the GNU License through my Github account. (Link above)
For more information on NVidia Flex go here: https://developer.nvidia.com/flex and https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-flex-110-released
FlexCLI runs on x64 architectures only. It was built against .Net 4.5.2
FlexHopper was tested with Rhino5 64bit and Grasshopper 0.9.0076 WIP
Requirements
Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or 10 64bit
NVidia or AMD Graphics Card
NVIDIA: GeForce Game Ready Driver 372.90 or above

Hi,
Is it possible to mimic wind flows around buildings using Flexhopper?
If so, are there any examples available?
Kind regards,
Rick

Hi,
First thank you for this quality work. I find this plug in very intuitive and the example files are very good and clear.
I was wondering if there is a way to set a lifetime for the particules of a fountain? the fact that all the particules are considered cost computation time and I'm interested in the behaviour of the particules at the beginning of their life.
Thank you very much for your answer
