ange’ for its 2016 cycle, as a starting point to investigate principles of natural formation processes and interpret them as innovative architectonic spaces. These concepts are carefully interwoven with spatial, performance-based, and structural criteria in order to create full-scale working prototypes.
The three-week long programme is formulated as a two-phase process. During the two-week initial phase, participants benefit from the unique atmosphere and facilities of AA’s London home. The second phase, lasting for a week, shifts to AA’s woodland site in Hooke Park and revolves around the robotic fabrication and assembly of a full-scale architectural intervention.
Prominent Features of the programme:
• Teaching team: Participants engage in an active learning environment where the large tutor to student ratio (5:1) allows for personalized tutorials and debates.
• Facilities: AA Digital Prototyping Lab (DPL) offers laser cutting, CNC milling, and 3d printing facilities. The facilities at AA Hooke Park allow for the fabrication of one-to-one scale prototypes with a 3-axis CNC router, various woodworking power tools, and robotic fabrication.
• Computational skills: The toolset of Summer DLAB includes but is not limited to Rhinoceros, Processing, Grasshopper, and various analysis tools.
• Theoretical understanding: The dissemination of fundamental design techniques and relevant critical thinking methodologies through theoretical sessions and seminars forms one of the major goals of Summer DLAB.
• Professional awareness: Participants ranging from 2nd year students to PhD candidates and full-time professionals experience a highly-focused collaborative educational model which promotes research-based design and making.
• Robotic Fabrication: According to the specific agenda of each year, scaled working models are produced via advanced digital machining tools, followed by the fabrication of a one-to-one scale prototype with the Kuka KR150 robot.
• Lecture series: Taking advantage of its unique location, London, Summer DLAB creates a vibrant atmosphere with its intense lecture programme.
Eligibility: The workshop is open to architecture and design students and professionals worldwide.
Accreditation: Participants receive the AA Visiting School Certificate with the completion of the Programme.
Applications: The AA Visiting School requires a fee of £1900 per participant, which includes a £60 Visiting Membership fee. A deposit of £381 is required when registering with the online form. The deadline for applications is 11 July 2016. No portfolio or CV is required. Online application link:

f objects with the main ring body, and that cannot be done in parallel since you are modifying the item once at a time, algorithmically.
The original example of a cylinder and sphere are textbook failures of the Rhino 5 dumb algorithm, since that combination features kissing surfaces that confuse Rhino about where they are intersecting since really in tolerance values they are overlapping along a ribbon instead of a sharp line.
Normally you would slightly move or rescale one of the pair to create a single loop intersection curve that doesn't wander around in jerky fashion trying to combine two surfaces that fail to actually plunge through one another.
Your main Boolean union is 116 prongs with a ring base, and that's slow because Rhino bogs down as the model gets more an more complicated with each internal step, I imagine.
The speed is not all that slow either, only 21 seconds for the Booleans themselves.
If you turn of Grasshopper preview meshing via the toolbar menu it should be significantly faster while you are tweaking the design.
To troubleshoot the slow Boolean, I went into Rhino and tried merely splitting the ring body with the prongs and that itself was just about as slow as the Boolean union, so Rhino is not being badass about it. Then I exploded the ring body and tried splitting just that with the prongs and it was *much* faster to operate on just that single surface! The black box reveals itself a bit.
In kind, splitting the prongs with that single surface was about the same speed as splitting it with the whole ring body, so no speed gain there.
But, to speed up your script, since we *cannot* in fact use parallel processing, we can instead manually create that prong surface by doing our own splits and using Grasshopper's natural order of parts, hopefully consistent, to get rid of the junk.
That prong surface is item 4 of an exploded object.
So I will mutually split them and tease out the good parts from the junk and then rejoin the parts, no Boolean union component needed.
First, I went into your prong cluster and removed the capping, so I have merely an open revolution surface instead of a polysurface, letting me access the surface trim command after quickly finding the BrepBrep intersection curves between the prongs and the single ring surface.
For that Boolean union step I'm down from 11 seconds to 4 seconds, but confusingly we added a second to the Boolean difference that follows:
It's fast since we are manually selecting junk instead of Rhino having to sort which is which, I imagine.
We still have a slow Boolean subtraction of the gems and holes from the finished ring body.
That's not simple so will remain slow and cannot be parallel processed since again there's a single main ring body being modified in each step, and nor are there simple pairs of split object to select from manually to discard junk.
…
at your original list of numbers, if I am to go through and check manually to see what I should be getting out, I think you should only get a few outputs (which is why I was confused by all the outputs at the end of the definition.
For example, just as an example I started with X1 as 279 (item index 11). When I did the math, the only indexes that I got were 15,28, and 33.
This is because:
since 279 is positive, look for next number that is at least 180 less or 360 more than X1.
the value of 78 (item index 15) is the first value to satisfy this requirement.
Then, since 78 is smaller than 279, we are looking for the next value at least 180 more or 360 less than 78.
The value 272 (item index 28) is that next value.
Then since 272 is larger than 78, we are looking for the next value at least 180 less or 360 more than 272.
The value 52 (item index 33) is the next value.
So the definition should output the following:
indexes 15, 28, 33.
Does that make sense?…

alapagos generates when it tries to minimize the bending moment. I ran the optimization several times and every time, the solution is a bit different (figures below). Is this normal if you have relative many variables? I have 11 sliders which Galapagos can vary.
I start everytime with the same settings and start points.
Or is it possible to get the same answer everytime? That would be nice for my model.
Again, Thanks!

rting planar surface is a highly irregular one with 11 curves, and 12 points I'm using as anchors. As a result the mesh work I am generating with weaverbird is a mess and the whole structure looks incredibly unrefined. I've been trying to track down some good information on smoothing, equalizing and conformalizing techniques but haven't found any. I've seen demo videos but no accompanying definitions and I am very new to the kangaroo engine so working it out by trial and error is getting me further away from a solution.I've attached some examples of the design work I'm going for since I want to achieve a similar modular component to build the structure out of and hence need to fix this mesh problem.
It'd be great to have this sorted over the weekend, but figuring this out in general would be awesome.Cheers.

he "return" is comment out as shown below?
After restarting Rhino and Grasshopper, I opened the outdoors_airflow demo file, and the first step of creating the case file is ok:
Then the blockMesh component gives the following error: seems I have to manually start OF first..
so, as the error message suggested, I open OF by Start_OF.bat:
Then come back to the blockMesh component, now it can be executed while the OF command line window is also openning:
... and the blockMesh finished successfully:
... so I proceeded to run snappyHexMesh, checkMesh and update fvScheme:
... up to the simpleFoam component, I got the error again:

... and the command lines in the readMe! output are pretty long and it is saved in the text file attached here.
So, my questions are:
1. why I have to manually start OF first before I can use the blockMesh component? Should butterfly automatically start OF?
2. what might be the cause of the unsuccessful run of simpleFoam in the end?
Hope you can kindly advise! Thank you!

cs/numpy-for-iron-python-wit... ) also fails to allow numpy import:
Numpy and Scipy are in directories here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\
This is all a sad joke, taking a full day so far. Rhino just sort of sucks for serious work. There's no way I can offer any Numpy/Scipy scripts to clients this way, just impossible. Rhino/Grasshopper Python should come with this stuff, dear developers, or have a simple installer that just works. It comes with math already doesn't it? So why not Numpy and Scipy for serious users?
Upon restarting Rhino, it totally changes behavior and spits out a crazy error upon importing Numpy:
Message: The type initializer for 'NumpyDotNet.NpyCoreApi' threw an exception.Traceback: line 11, in <module>, "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\multiarray.py" line 6, in <module>, "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\numpy\core\__init__.py" line 155, in <module>, "C:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\Lib\site-packages\numpy\__init__.py" line 1, in <module>, "C:\Users\Nik\AppData\Local\Temp\TempScript.py"
The Grasshopper Python node editor gives the same error. Perhaps I can only import parts of Numpy using "from Numpy import XXXX"?…
