r interface to gsa, you'll find technical help/descriptions in it's help system. Certainly changing the type to Bar overrides any user defined releases.
The gsa solver must make special allowance for node "stability" when the elements connected are all bars (for rotation). If you're circumstance when you change type to Beams, your end releases are applied to axial and shear at all ends (note you can change the "close model" input on the solver component to false so you can see the analysis error). I think I previously discussed with Oasys about the COM interface sending back the "log" so I could display it in Grasshopper. Elements with axial and shear releases both ends are unrestrained, so it's causing the solver error. If you say released Fx and Fy at both ends it might work (I didn't test), certainly at one end only it should.
There's a hidden component (I can't remember if it's completed or not, i think so but not extensively tested) that can generate "tied interfaces" along edges of meshes to link nodes. Try dragging and dropping this string below onto the gh canvas.
{4661c381-1c36-4099-90f2-0d5cf0d30db3}
The trouble with rhino meshing is that polysurface edges can only have two adjacent faces, so getting coincident nodes along shared "edges" of surfaces is near impossible.
I do have some routines for "meshing" surfaces with simple geometry (ie 3 or 4 edged faces). This takes a distance setting and forces vertex spacing to respect this along edges, so tied interfaces wouldn't be necessary. If this is of interest, I'll see if I can provide it (or have done so) for the plugin. Let me know deadline/time frames you have for using this.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Jon…

it seems that was this. Now all is working fine !
Glad that it worked! But I am still a bit worried. Gismo components only modify the gdal-data/osmconf.ini file and no other MapWinGIS file. So your MapWinGIS installation files should not be compromised. The fact that you did not get the "COM CLSID" error message when running the "Gismo Gismo" component suggests that MapWinGIS has been properly installed. So I wonder if the cause for the permanent "invalid shapes" warning has again something with the fact that your system is again not allowing the MapWinGIS to properly edit the osmconf.ini. Maybe this problem will appear again, and again, and reinstallation of MapWinGIS every time can be somewhat bothersome.
- About the terrain generation, is it possible to have the texture from google or other provider mapped onto the terrain surface from gismo component ? (Same as using the ladybug terrain generator in fact). I try to used the image extracted by ladybug component and then applied it to the gismo terrain but the texture is rotated by 90°.
The issue with the rotation can be solved by swapping/reversing the U,V directions of the terrain surface. A slightly more important issue is that terrain surface generated with Gismo "Terrain Generator" component might have a bit smaller radius than what the radius_ input required. This stems from the fact that the terrain data first needs to be downloaded in geographic coordinate system, and then projected. Some projecting issues may occur at the very edges of the projected terrain, so I had to slightly cut out the very edges of the terrain which results in the actual terrain diameters being slightly shorted in both directions. This means that if you apply the same satellite image from Ladybug "Terrain Generator" component to Gismo "Terrain Generator" component the results may not be the same.I attached below a python component which tries to solve this issue by extending the edges of Gismo "Terrain Generator" terrain, and then cutting them with the cuboid of the exact dimensions as the radius_ input. Have in mind that this extension of the original terrain at its edges is not a correct representation of the actual terrain in that location. But rather just an extension of the isoparameteric curve of the terrain surface. So basically: some 0 to 10% (0 to 10 percent of the width and length) of the terrain around all four edges is not the actual terrain for that location, but rather just its extension.The python component is located at the very right of the definition attached below.
Also, if you would like to use the satellite images from Ladybug "Terrain Generator" component along with "OSM shapes", sometimes you may find slight differences in position of the shapes. This is due to openstreetmap data not being based on Google Maps (that's what Ladybug "Terrain Generator" component is using), but rather on Bing, MapQuest and a few others.
- About the requiredKeys_ input of OSM shapes, I understand what you mean and your advice, but in most cases I use it, the component was working fine even without input. I think it's better to extract all tags, values and keys of the selected area, instead of searching for specific ones as I try to find all data related to what I want after, isn't it ? To check what keys are present on the area also.
Ineed, you are correct.I though you were trying to only create a terrain, 3d buildings and maybe find some school or similar 3d building, for these two locations. The recommendation I mentioned previously is due to shapefiles having a limit (2044) to how many keys it can contain. This requires further testing of some big cities locations with maybe larger radii, which I haven't performed due to my poor PC configuration. But in theory, I imagine that it may happen that a downloaded .osm file may have more than 2044 keys. In that case shapefile will only record 2044 of them, and disregard the others. That was my point.But again 2044 is a lot of keys, and I haven't been checking much this in practice. For example, when I set the radius_ to 1000 meters, and use your "3 Rue de Bretonvilliers Paris" location I get around 350 something keys, which is way below the 2044.Another reason why one should use the requiredKeys_ input is to make the Gismo OSM components run quicker: for example, the upper mentioned 350 something keys will result in 350 values for each branch of the "OSM shapes" component's "values" output.Which means if you have 10 000 shapes, the "OSM shapes" component will have 10 000 branches with 350 items on each branch (values). This can make all Gismo OSM components very heavy, and significantly elongate the calculation process.With requiredKeys_ input you may end up with only a couple of tens of items per each branch.Sorry for the long reply.…

ino al suo utilizzo per la risoluzione di tematiche di modellazione complessa di ARCHITETTURA e DESIGN.Durante le lezioni si insegneranno i comandi avanzati del software Rhinoceros ed inoltre i discenti, alla fine del percorso formativo saranno anche in grado di creare modelli attraverso il linguaggio della Plug-in avanzata Grasshopper(http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo).
Il workshop si divide in due moduli che possono essere frequentati anche separatamente:
STRUTTURA
mod.1 _MODELLAZIONE BASE con Rhinoceros | Venerdì 14 Dicembre e Sabato 15 Dicembre | dalle 10,00 alle 19,00
Scadenza iscrizione: Lunedì 10 Dicembre
mod.2 _MODELLAZIONE AVANZATA con Rhinoceros e Grasshopper | Domenica 16 Dicembre e Lunedì 17 Dicembre | dalle 10,00 alle 19,00
Scadenza iscrizione: Mercoledì 12 Dicembre
SINTESI
mod.1 _MODELLAZIONE BASE con Rhinoceros
L’obbiettivo del corso è quello di insegnare in tempi brevi, gli strumenti base della modellazione 2D e 3D e la renderizzazione dei modelli creati. Le ore saranno dedicate allo studio dell’interfaccia del software Rhinoceros e all’apprendimento dei comandi base per la gestione del documento di progetto; si approfondiranno i comandi più utilizzati per l’editing e la costruzione del disegno per arrivare alle operazioni booleane semplici e complesse. Inoltre si imparerà a costruire e trasformare curve e superfici free-form. Le nozioni ed i metodi verranno trasmessi trattando temi e problematiche reali di design ed architettura.
mod.2 _MODELLAZIONE AVANZATA con Rhinoceros e Grasshopper
Il secondo modulo tratterà forme complesse implementando la modellazione avanzata di Rhinoceros con le potenzialità espresse dalla plug-in Grasshopper. La plug-in di Rhinoceros permette di disegnare abbandonando l’usuale interfaccia dei software di rappresentazione, consentendo un rapporto più diretto con il linguaggio proprio del computer: la programmazione. Questo cambiamento porta ad una radicale variazione del rapporto che il progettista ha con lo strumento di rappresentazione digitale. I partecipanti saranno orientati verso un nuovo rapporto con le forme create che oltre ad essere frutto di trasformazioni delle entità primitive che Rhinoceros propone, si costruiranno anche in relazione a parametri variabili.
Nel corso si imparerà a comporre algoritmi semplici, di carattere principalmente geometrico, in grado di generare forme e gestire i comportamenti delle stesse se sottoposte a variabili esterne.
In fine si imparerà a confrontarsi con un contesto evolutivo, che influenza i parametri della rappresentazione portando a dei modelli dinamici.

is called TouchOSC (http://www.hexler.net/software/touchosc).
Basically, what TouchOSC does is sends a message over UDP, but it's formatted according to the OSC specification (http://opensoundcontrol.org/spec-1_0). Firefly (and Ghowl) both have UDP/OSC receivers (although they work slightly differently). Basically, you have a sender (your phone) and a receiver (your computer) and the sender has to know the IP address of the receiver and they both have to know which port they want to communicate on. The port can really be any number you want. So, when launching the TouchOSC app, you need to go into the settings and specify the IP address of your computer and the port you want to use. Then, just pick a layout and start moving sliders to send the data. On the Firefly side, just drop a OSC listener component onto the canvas and specify the same port number you put into the app. Then, connect a Timer component to the OSC listener to get it automatically refresh at a given interval. The data should come over as a data tree, and you can extract the header of the message, or the actual value using the standard Data Tree components.
The one thing you may want to know is that some networks will restrict communications over UDP (particularly those at schools, or other institutions). I would recommend starting out using your home router, which hopefully doesn't have these restrictions. If you do want to use it at a school, you may need to create an ad-hoc network and make sure your phone and computer are both on that same network. Other than that, it should be pretty straight forward. Hopefully this gets you started.

Andy…

e and i get it. If you have time check the attached papers we published a while ago in relation to the contribution of thermal mass in the reduction of temperature in residential buildings. See the nice contribution of the heavy TM or the lower one for light TM.
As for the solarHeatCapacity, your description (of the 50W) is derived on a 1 Facade/Floor ratio and fully glazed. The only way to reduce it is to increase the ratio (bigger facade area). Which is not recommended (energy losses), but this is a different issue. So, roughly, we can say that 50 is the lower value. If i have less glazing area this number will be higher (right?)
I want to define a value list of "architectural situations", so it is easy to explain and understand. One situation can be:
"Ratio facade/floor 1 & Fully glazed" = 50
"Ratio facade/floor 1 & Half glazed" = 75
"Ratio facade/floor 1.5 & Fully glazed" = 30
"Ratio facade/floor 1.5 & Half glazed" = 50
"Ratio facade/floor 0.75 & Fully glazed" = 70
"Ratio facade/floor 0.75 & Half glazed" = 90
Makes sense for you something like this?
I also defined a value list for the timeConstant like this:
Light Building (Mobile home) = 1Medium-light building (Cement tiles on floor) = 4Semi Heavy Building (Concrete floor + Tiles) = 8Heavy Building (Concrete floors/ceilings + Heavy external and internal walls) = 12
As for the first 5-10 cm effective TM in general my assumption is that you take half of the mass to your space and half to the space above/below you. Will be interesting to do a parametric study on just the thermal mass, uninsulated and insulated to see what the depth limits effectivity will be. Interested in doing such a study together? Can be a nice work even for publishing.
Thanks a lot ... again,

In this case we see a geometrically approach, which doesn’t works efficient, because it required knowing how they behaviors together before, and I think it is not the ‘really behaves’.
To make the structure ‘really behaves’ I tried use kangaroo and the result works very well! As you can see I simply give the 2-set reverse UForce, and then they start to rotate until they found their equilibrium. That means 90 degree rotation. I was wondering what we can do to make a endless-rotation. I am mean 360 degree or more like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4owFczeqqMQ
By the way, I try to give supports which allow a horizontal movement only (Just curious how we could keep the anchor-movement horizontally and in the same layer, for example like usual supports for compression ring…). I use the AnchorXYZ, but Kangaroo-Engine seems don’t accept its output.
So maybe some one knows a better solution?
