added a separate location for the kangaroo files in GrasshopperDeveloperSettings just to be sure, everything is unlocked, I have .net Framework 4.5.1 installed, turned of Coff and forced Direct via the about panel. I'm working with Rhino 5 SR 12 on 64 bit, Grasshopper build 0.9.0076 on Windows 8.1.
I still get this error in the Rhino command line (translated from Dutch):
'An attempt was made to load an assembly from a network location. This allows the assembly to be placed in a sandbox in earlier versions of the .NET Framework. In this version of the .NET Framework CAS policy is not enabled by default. This loading operation can therefore be dangerous. If this loading operation is not intended to place the assembly in a sandbox, you must turn on the switch load from remote sources. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=155569 for more information.'
I hope someone can help me with this!
Thanks!

sistance of radiative and convective heat transfer through the _filmCoefficient input on the "Create Therm Boundaries" component. This filmCoefficient in W/m2K represents the "U-Value" of the air film between the edge of the THERM materials and the surrounding environment that is at the specified _temperature. The extra resistance from this air film is why the full construction U-Value that you are getting out of THERM is a lower than just the (conductivity of material) / (depth of the material). Accounting for air films is particularly important when you get constructions that have a high overall conductivity (like a single pane window), since almost all of the resistance of such a construction is due to the air films.
To elaborate further, you might have noticed that, in the example files on hydra, I set this filmCoefficient to be either "indoor" or "outdoor", which basically uses some code that I wrote to autocalculate the film coefficient for you. I take into account both the emissivity of the material at the boundary (which gives you more air film resistance for lower emissivities) as well as the orientation of the boundary in the 3D space of the Rhino model. The code I wrote will take these parameters and match them to those published in ASHRAE Fundementals, which you can see in table 1 of the first page of this PDF:
http://edge.rit.edu/content/C09008/public/2009%20ASHRAE%20Handbook
I interpolate between these values in the event that your emissivity is not 0.05, 0.2, 0.9 or the orientation of your boundary is not any one of the 5 that they give.
I know that THERM also has the capability to actually run the radiative and convective formulas that you posted, Mauricio, as opposed to just using a single film coefficient to account for all of this resistance. The running of these formulas is particularly useful is the radiant temperature at the boundary is different than the air temperature. However, as long as you are ok with this assumption that the air and radiant temperatures are the same (which is the case for all of the situations that I have encountered), the film coefficient is perfectly sufficient. If anyone ever has need for this capability of running boundary conditions that have different radiant and air temperatures, please post here and I can think of a way to implement it. I rather like the simplicity of the current interface, though, and I think that I will keep it this way until we understand the purposes for why someone would need separate radiant and air temperatures.

n static. The eight initial curves are control point curves so that I can sculpt the overall building form according to other external data, and have the panels (and morphed geometry) adjust with the building's new form.
Also, if I am to add floors, I need the panels to always have the same height in the z axis (as if the entire form is being contoured at a regular interval). The facade should automatically adjust if I pull the upper most controls up. For example, if I pull the upper control points of the curves up 20m, the facade would generate another 5 floors with a 4000m height each.
Hope you can help me out. Thanks again!

holes on each so speed increases). Zero radius circles are skipped.
The image dimensions in pixels are defined in small panels (X=485, Y=759) and used to calculate height/width ratio. That is used to define height based on the 'X' slider (500), which defines width overall.
The 'cell size' slider is also in units and determines resolution indirectly. For any given X value, increasing 'cell size' reduces the number of grid cells (resolution) and vice-versa.
Independent of other parameters, 'Isotrim (SubSrf)' splits the base surface into sub-surfaces, onto which the circles are projected. The 'SrfSplit' does the heavy lifting (can be SLOW!) and finally, 'Sort' is used to select the resulting surfaces that contain the holes.
Benchmarks:
X = 500, cell size = 10, 3161 circlesnine subsurfaces: 'SrfSplit' = 6.6 minutes, 'Project' = 13 secs.16 subsurfaces: 'SrfSplit' = 2.3 minutes, 'Project' = 17 secs.
X = 500, cell size = 5, 12542 circles (shown)35 surfaces: 'SrfSplit' = 30.6 minutes, 'Project' = 57 secs.
As noted before, a very long-standing, well-known bug in Grasshopper fails to save the Image Sampler component when I save a copy of your file. Very annoying, but there is a work-around. Copy/paste and connect the Image Sampler from the code you posted above into the place I reserved for it.
"Pro Tip": Always work at low-resolution until your algorithms are proven before cranking up to 10K+ geometry counts!
Attached file has low resolution settings with 'Project' and 'SrfSplit' (red group) disabled.…
an symmetric spacing by remaping t(x).
I tried to use the GraphMapper with a parabolic distribution for t(x) and it almost right but still off.
(I am using half the domain to make sure I have a curve on the axis.)
How do I remap t(x) to get the right result?
Asking for help, please.
Thanks,
Phillip

If you were not there, you can email me and have me give you a written desk crit.
-The assignment due this week will focus in on one of your ideas and dig in deeper. Please compose a 24"x24" pdf of one final project idea including some of the following:
Specific grasshopper examples
Sketches
Images
Text defining your design limitations, variables, the project at large, and parametric qualities
Please name this LastName_FirstName_FinalProject_PartB.pdf and complete by Monday at 7:00 PM.
-There will be a more complete sheet in the upcoming weeks describing the final project, but here is a sneak peek:
Project Brief: Up until now, you have been using grasshopper to develop, analyze, and fabricate architectural ideas in a very controlled format. The final project is a chance to combine this knowledge with your own design intent and aspirations. The project will use specific deliverables to spur growth, but also allow for you, the designer, to do what you please within the following boundaries.
Requirements:
# open project# must be a design project # story of what you are designing and why you are using grasshopper - specific design intent# must have physical scale model # must have 24” x 36” board - made in Adobe InDesign or Photoshop # grasshopper definition image # 1 artistic rendering - any format - with scale figures # 5 iterations of your project must be presented # 1 diagram to visually describe your project # text describing project # process drawings - photos/sketches/models/other iterations# this is the bare minimum - to have an excellent project, one must go above and beyond these requirements# talk to me if you have out of the box ideas of presenting/ teams / etc...
That is all, have a good week!…
try to get the output. In this case the output needs to be set before requesting for it. I am doing it with this call:
ret = gsaobj.Output_Init_Arr(1,"Global","A1",14003001,3)
In API help the call is documented like this:
short Output_Init_Arr (long iFlags, string sAxis, string sCase, enum ResHeader header, long num1dpos)
so this call has 5 arguments (long, string, string, long, long) (the enums are defined as longs)
This call works, because when I print the ret, i get 0 that is "succeded" so everything works so far.
Then I request the output with the following:
results = []
ret = gsaobj.Output_Extract_Arr(10,results,numcomponents)
In API help the call is documented like this:
short Output_Extract_Arr(long iRef, SAFEARRAY(struct GsaResults)*arrayResults, long* numComponents)
I am getting the error "
Runtime error (ArgumentException): Could not convert argument 1 for call to Output_Extract_Arr."
So it seems that is not accepting 10 as a long in the beginning (assuming that argument 1 is the first). I already tried passing a variable as long, using long(10) there, nothing works.
Furthermore I don't know if the other two variables are correct like that. I come from VBA where I need to declare everything but AFAIK python is more permissive in this sense. "results" should be a dynamic array of objects and "numcomponents" a long.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks! :)

y working on is a tensegrity structure that uses cables and a tensile fabric to apply traction. The basic cell of the structure is a sail with two parallel rods.
The easy one was the fabric anchored to the extremes of the rod. I got great results with the tensegrity model , very similar to physical models that I was working on.
But then I tried the same thing with the fabric anchored all along the rods, but it proved to be hard (read all the "rod discussion"). I tried the bending force, but was too unstable. The best model I got was by applying different stiffness to the mesh, specifically, to the lines that coincide with the anchors.
It's by no means the solution that I had in mind, but the next days I'll be testing it with the structure. I came across with the next thing to my ideal solution, Daniel's boat (https://vimeo.com/30128894), but I couldn't replicate it. Anyone has some idea of a different, more rigid solution? Even in K2, which I really don't understand yet, but any clue would be helpful.
Aside of that, I was also having trouble applying real values of stiffness. The third archive has the same definition that the first, but with real stiff values (the rods are wood, k=10^7 N/m, cables are nylon k=2x10^5 N/m). I adjusted the timestep and the subiterations, but it doesn't work as stable and smooth as the whatever-stiffness-sail. I don't know if isn't correctly calibrated, or my computer its too old (it pretty old and slow) or simply isn't a good definition.
If anyone has any idea it would be very much appreciated!
