n make it possible to Motivation generate
a variety of interesting objects, from abstract fractals to plant-like
branching structures, their modeling power is quite limited. A major
problem can be traced to the reduction of all lines to integer multiples
of the unit segment. As a result, even such a simple figure as an
isosceles right-angled triangle cannot be traced exactly, since the ratio
of its hypotenuse length to the length of a side is expressed by the irrational
number √2. Rational approximation of line length provides only
a limited solution, because the unit step must be the smallest common

√2
denominator of all line lengths in the modeled structure. Consequently,
the representation of a simple plant module, such as an internode, may
require a large number of symbols. The same argument applies to angles.
Problems become even more pronounced while simulating changes
to the modeled structure over time, since some growth functions cannot
be expressed conveniently using L-systems. Generally, it is difficult

to capture continuous phenomena, since the obvious technique of discretizing
continuous values may require a large number of quantization
levels, yielding L-systems with hundreds of symbols and productions.
Consequently, model specification becomes difficult, and the mathematical
beauty of L-systems is lost.
In order to solve similar problems, Lindenmayer proposed that numerical
parameters be associated with L-system symbols [83]. He illustrated
this idea by referring to the continuous development of branching
structures and diffusion of chemical compounds in a nonbranching filament
of Anabaena catenula.
The following is an example of its application:
starting string: A
p1: A F(1)[+A][-A]
P2: F(s) F(s*R)
which I think is basically trying to say
F(s) = move forwar a step of length s > 0.

bursts of calcium which interacts with a photoprotein to create flashes of light.
In the Pacific Canada Pavilion gallery at the Vancouver Aquarium, the public can excite origami jellies into creating beautiful patterns of colour and light using a touch screen controller.
When left alone, free from human intervention, the origami jellies instinctively react to each other. Random, generative displays of drifting coloured glow are triggered, not unlike jellies in their natural environment.
Jelly Swarm overhangs the gallery space. The soft, coloured light emitted by the jellies reflects on the aluminum surface. Viewed from below, the visual effect evokes looking up to the ocean's surface from undersea.
The installation features 94 origami jellies, folded in Tyvek. Each jelly contains its own RGB LED module. The 472ft² hanging surface was custom designed in 3D and fabricated from 6061T6 aluminum. Water jet cut and anodized on both sides, it comprises 154 generated triangles and 430 connector pieces.
Programed as self-contained objects capable of interacting with their closest neighbours, the Jelly LED modules are interrupted only by external intervention - the public engaging with the small display interface. Data is sent from an AIR app to each LED module via mbed wirelessly.

p, open to designers worldwide, will explore the parametric mix of new raw materials and the re-use of elements from Carnival floats and costumes, transforming them using generative design processes and new digitally fabricated joint components, to create interventions for micro-venues and urban furniture in the Porto do Rio region.
Taught by AA Staff, recent AA graduates, and computation and fabrication professionals, the studio-based workshop will include extensive instruction in Rhino Grasshopper (including GECO, and Galapagos, to integrate environmental optimization, simulation and parametric control) and digital fabrication processes using laser cutter, CNC-milling and rapid-prototyping machines, sponsored by DS4 and SEACAM, all of which will be used to produce one-to-one design prototypes.

ake a modest notice about the two new Ladybug components, one of which creates a 3d terrain shading mask and another one which visualizes and exports horizon angles. A terrain shading mask is essentially a diagram which maps the silhouette of the surrounding terrain (hills, valleys, mountains, tree tops...) around the chosen location, and account for the shading losses from the terrain. It can be used as a context_ input in mountainous or higher latitude regions for any kind of sun related analysis: sunlight hours analysis, solar radiation analysis, view analysis, photovoltaics/solar water heating sunpath shading...
My home town is an example of the shading caused by the terrain. Here is how it looks from the tallest building in the town:
And the created terrain shading mask:
A mask for any land location up to 60 degrees North can be created:
There will also be a support for a few major cities above this limit.
Both Terrain shading mask and Horizon angles components can be downloaded from here. An example .gh file can be found in here.
Component will prompt the user to download and copy certain files in order to be able to run.
It was created with assistance from Dr. Bojan Savric. Support on various issues was further given by: Dr. Graham Dawson, Dr. Alec Bennett, Dr. Ulrich Deuschle, Andrew T. Young, LiMinlu, Jonathan de Ferranti, Michal Migurski, Christopher Crosby, Even Rouault, Tamas Szekeres, Izabela Spasic, Mostapha Sadeghipour Roudsari, Dragan Milenkovic, Chen Weiqing, Menno Deij-van Rijswijk and gis.stackexchange.com community.
I hope somebody might find the components useful.…
ss lots of questions,Hope guys show me some more different ways to figure out thoes kinds of problems,Thanks.
That is a construction project,the balconies should be overhang between 1 to 3 meters.
Program A is a patten consist of increasing balconies as the floors get upper.(In the picture is 29 at the first floor and ended with 2 more balconies for each floor, )Each part for a different floor,the twelfth floor have 29+(12-1)*2=51 balconies.
Questions From A,
A1:How to use the {(series)} to creat this atrium,As the floors increase the number of the balconies change by arithmetic progression.
A2:How to control the angle of the balconies,both the angle with floor and the balconies ending part.
Program B is use line to shape the commercial atrium,program A is more small pieces of rectangles.The {(TweenCrv)} command.
Questions From B,
B1:How to draw random points between the 1 to 3 meters region of the balcony,And those point form a shape also belongs to that region.
B2:Use a curve or other ways to control the changing speed of each floors' balcony.Right now the balcony is a Linear change.
Thanks for your Help.
Q1:Is there a way in Grasshopper to control the model to Modulus,less different unit parts to build such a Atrium.(For Exanple,only use 900mm and 600mm two different width of the Glass railings to bulid the model A OR B)…
st between those two applications. But as soon as every frame is re-calculated I noticed that intersection function is very slow. It is actually so slow, that maximum number of polygons to play with is only 10 or less.
Could you help me to find a faster solution for my script?
calculation of intersection lines;
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
import ghpythonlib.components as ghcompimport rhinoscriptsyntax as rsdef ctr(crv): pts = ghcomp.Explode(crv)[1] pts = ghcomp.CullDuplicates(pts,0.001)[0] return ghcomp.Average(pts)pts = []lines = []ctr_c1 = ctr(C1)for crv in C2: if ctr(crv) != ctr_c1: int = ghcomp.CurveXCurve(C1, crv)[0] if int: [pts.append(x) for x in int] lines.append(rs.AddLine(int[0],int[1]))
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The overall description of the script:
a)Processing+ghowl is used for moving objects and physics
b)python script (slowest part) calculates intersection lines
c)intersected parts of polygons are rotated in 90 degrees.
I have attached grasshopper and processing files. (processing is not necessary to test the script)
Thank you in advance,
Pereas.

on this, but to my understanding, the Δt_pr used is the same - the equations used to calculate are not. Take a look at this (from EN 7730 as well):
If I can make some wishes too; it would be cool, if you included the last local comfort metrics from EN7730 in LB/HB as well. Besides the local asymmetry there are: an equation for warm/cold floors, stratification and draught. I know, that you will need preform a CFD simulation to properly calculate stratification and draught, but the comfort equations are really simple and seeing that you have(might have) a CFD tool under way it could be useful. Anyways I think it would possible to import external generated CFD data to grasshopper.
The pictures in my previous post are from a paper called: "A simplified calculation method for checking the indoor thermal climate" by B.W. Olesen, it can be found in ASHRAE 1983, vol. 25, issue 5. I don't know if there have been any updates to it since '83.
Looking forward for the new components, and if there is anything I can help with please let me know.
