e analysis) into a grasshopper script that will effect the way objects are placed, or formed? I have been all over the internet trying to find answers and had little luck so I decided to think of an example and post it to the forum. I have looked into functions, path mappers, data trees and many other components.
Say my site had 2 buildings, one that was built in 1918 (B1) and one that was built in 1920 (B2). But B2 was demolished in 2009 and B1 still exists (2011). Can a simple script be created to model this? I have had a go but my most successful attemt still fails, I can get a true statement when the the number 1920 and above is reached but I cannot get it to also show a false reading for when the number 2009 is reached.
If someone could help me out on this and show (tell) me how this could be used as a variable to create design/the placement of objects, it would be MUCH appreciated.
Cheers

e able to loft them correctly. picked a point on the curve, decomposed points, selected x-output. but how to arrange the curves now from -n to +n?
cause my list looks like: -90,-80,-70,10,20,30,-60,-50,-40,40...
im so sorry but i have no idea, and unfortunately no time :(
thx in advance

he potential of BF to assess such cases. In your search, try and be specific on what you want, cause validation can focus on codes (i.e software environments like OF and Fluent), solvers (e.g. RNG vs kEpsilon vs kOmega, etc.), meshers, and so many more. Additionally, I'm sure there's a lot of CFD studies of Atrium spaces.
Myself, I haven't been involved in any validation studies as I have always used CFD on the practical side of things. Therefore, I always trusted OF since it has been heavily validated over the years.
The beauty of BF, or at least its end goal, is that you can easily test design alternatives directly from a friendlier and possibly better-known environment of Rhino3D.
I would suggest therefore to just try things out. Design your geometry, in this case the atrium, in Rhino. Decide which are the parameters that you wish to investigate and incorporate those to a GH definition that produces different design alternatives for the range of those parameters (i.e. your parametric model). Then run the cases through BF. There's a couple of examples that come with BF and a few others users are providing either here or on github.
I'm afraid trial and error is painful with CFD but it's the best way forward. Also, I suggest you bookmark cfd-online.com and skim through everything in there. Most if not all of what we are discussing has been discussed there.
Good luck!
Kind regards,
Theodore.
