lane that looks like the outline of a gear wheel
2. Scale a bunch of copies of the curve to different sizes (I use 11 different sized curves.)
3. Move each curve vertically to a different Z-height
4. Rotate each curve to get the desired wavy/wiggly effect
5. Create a Loft surface using all the curves.
A critical step when creating the Loft is to add the curves in order - either top to bottom or bottom to top.
Step 4 can be omitted if you want a constant curvature throughout the final part. In this case all you have to do is Twist by the desired amount the Loft surface made from un-rotated curves. …

ings" [every person on the experiment is one ring] which show the time duration. The outer sphere is divided in 11 segments [which are basically the segments of a human brain] I hav imported the data so far but what i aim is to find a way to connect each moment[time, second] from the inner sphere to a number of points from a specific segment in the outer. For example for Person number1, at 5th second the segments that are activated are 4th , 6th, 11th with 2, 3, 2 points.
It could be done manually but since the connections are a few thousands and i got the lists, i wonder whether there is a better way.
Any help is appreciated, i do not attach files since you need the excel files aswell. If anyone would like to help i can email the files.
Thanks in advance.…
TB of RAM. I think I'm going to start a GoFundMe campaign to buy one for myself :)
2- The server's cost is about $13 an hour. I get free access to supercomputer through my university and xsede.org because I earned an NSF Honorable mention last March, however, the supercomputers available through both resources are a little complicated for me to use, as opposed to the one available from amazon that has Microsoft server 2012 already installed.
3- I wanted to run 400 annual glare simulations for 400 different views.
4- I tried a to perform annual glare simulation for one view on my Dell XPS that has Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor and 16GB of system memory. The simulation took 2 hours to complete. Radiance parameter ab was set to 6.
5- I wanted to obtain the batch file for each view so I can run them on the server. So I used the fly component to run all 400 simulations and closed the cmd windows, that wasn't bad ( for me at least) because I asked my son to this job for me, he was just glad to help me :)
6- I created one batch file using this cmd command:
dir /s /b *.bat > runall.bat
This created a file with the path to each .bat file. I edited this file in Notepad++ to include the word "start" at the beginning of each line. This was done using the "find and replace" dialogue box.
7- I split my newly created batch file into 3 batch files, each one has about 130 file names and " start" before the file names.
8- installed radiance on my server
9- Ran the first batch file on the server, this started 130 cmd windows performing my simulations, CPU usage was anywhere between 90% to 100% and about 105 GB of RAMs were used.
10. It took about 5 hours to complete all 130 simulations, I expected to run all in 2 hours but can't complain because this would've taken about 260 hours to run on my laptop. After the simulations done I ran the second and then the third batch files ( total of about 15 hours).
11. I got 400 valid dgb files. Couldn't be happier!

Target group The workshop is fully funded and is addressed to students of architecture and civil engineering faculties at master level from Estonia (11 seats), Latvia (3 seats), Lithuania (3 seats) and Sweden (3 seats). The selected students will have full scholarship that will include travel, board and lodging in Tallinn for 10 days (arrival on Sunday 03.07.2016 departure on Wednesday 13.07.2016). The workshop is funded by the NORDPLUS programme of the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) - Higher Education objective.
Description The use of digital and computational design tools is increasingly important for the activity of design and research for architects and engineers. It permits to integrate environmental and energy aspects from the very early stages of the design and planning process to achieve more performative, efficient and integrated buildings and urban environments. The workshop attendants will broaden their design and technical knowledge with solar design, daylighting and energy efficiency topics and will learn how to integrate environmental analysis and building performance analysis tools with parametric and generative methodologies in architecture and planning.
Location
Tallinn University of Technology – Departments of Structural Design and Environmental Engineering
Dates
From 04 to 12 July 2016

idually and by group
3) Clean up functions to discard failed results
4) Use generated images using windows directories to delete designs (so you can bring one next to each other and discard similar ones)
5) Hide irrelevant parameters
6) View generated images in zoom
7) Individually set limits on filter parameters (using sliders)
8) Reload CAD file without having to close and open genoform
9) Much smaller UI (we want to allow the screen for design work, so the functionalities have been made into pop-ups).
10) Navigate in view to a desired design (by number)
11) Any other features our users want ? (let us know)
We hope that this version is much more easier to use and allows designers to manage what they wish to generate section by section or layer by layer.…
ult, my 3dm is very large.
Another problem, when the fonction is ok, the draw in grasshopper is ok, when i bake i have only a litte part of the opération.....
If you could help me, thank you

ay be other issues with your geometry, but this is usually the issue people run into.)
Rays will lose energy much more slowly when a room is very reflective, but such conditions only really exist with polished painted concrete. I don't know how many such rooms you've ever been in. I can count them on one hand - and I've been to acoustic reverberation chambers on 3 continents.
Pachyderm works with a ray decimation algorithm. This means that a ray will be traced out to the cutoff time, unless it has lost enough energy that its further contribution to the impulse response is negligible. At this time, the ray is discontinued. So, the more absorption in the room, the less time it will take to run the simulation. So, more realistic absorption coefficients will allow a model to run in a more reasonable amount of time.
Gypsum board/Plasterboard will typically be between 8 and 11 percent at mid and high frequencies, and higher at low frequencies, for example. Concrete, unless polished and painted, is still a little porous, so you can probably make it 3 to 5 percent.
Regarding sources and receivers, adding more receivers adds almost nothing to calculation time (until the every end, when it extrapolates a pressure response, anyway). This is because the receivers are entered into a spatial partition system, which allows it to be done in an optimized way. Adding multiple sources will effectively multiply the calculation time by the number of sources, because the simulation needs to be repeated for each source individually.
Hopefully this helps you figure out how to run simulations with reasonable run times.

h 11 returns two values, and the lists with 10 and 6 return one. In any case, I changed the logic a bit.
Check it out in the other vb component. The idea is just to check if the list is odd or even first with the Mod operator. If the lsit is odd, return the middle item in the list as you have set it up. If the list is even, return the mid items also in the same way as you have set it up. I am attaching the edited .gh file, a Class1.cs file which shows in C# how I set up the component (translated vb code will follow), and the .gha I built from it.
The logic should be a bit easier to follow in this version. Check out the edited vb component in the definition for a 'translated version.'
Apologies for the C# ness...I currently do not have Visual Studio Express installed, just Visual C# express. This one is converting just fine to:
Dim list As New List(Of Object)()Dim out_v As New List(Of Object)()Dim out_i As New List(Of Integer)()If Not DA.GetDataList(0, list) Then ReturnEnd IfDim val As Object = list(Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(Convert.ToDouble(list.Count / 2))))Dim i As Integer = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Floor(Convert.ToDouble(list.Count / 2)))If (list.Count Mod 2) Then out_v.Add(val) out_i.Add(i)Else out_v.Add(val) out_i.Add(i) out_v.Add(list(i + 1)) out_i.Add(i + 1)End IfDA.SetDataList(0, out_v)DA.SetDataList(1, out_i)…
