mmon.sdk ,but i herad its used in rhino5.
or example: the book grasshopper primer second edition ,page 98
i dont know what is the "doc.absolutetolerance" and where i can find about it....i dont kow it should be a class or a fuction,i tried to search the rhino4. net sdk,i cant find it ....maybe its my searching problem.
but according to the grasshopper primer, i indeed know many kind of Variables,many functions,basic structure, loops, and conditions,and what is onutil.xxxx and rhutil.xxxx.but i found all this imformation is not helpful enough to me when reading the examples downloaded from many disscussions.when i found a new variable or new funcion,i dont know where i can find the introduction about them,such as the upper coding:"doc.absolutetolerance".i tried to use the auto complete such as
dim xxxx as oncurve
xxxx. to find the class oncurve's funtions and variables ,but its too uneffcient.
-----------------------------------------------
And,i dont know the difference between the components vb script and dotnet vb script....
because i found when i type onutil. the auto complete has noting appear...and the variables declaring is not the same. in vb script dim xxxx as curve but in dotnet vb script its dim xxxx as oncurve,which is the same as the grasshopper primer teached me...but i guess.... the vb script component is just like the rhinoscript(not the same),and the dotnet vb script is more powerful than it. am i right?
------------------------------------------------
at last i dont know these.
Imports System Imports System.IO Imports System.Xml Imports System.Data Imports System.Drawing Imports System.Reflection Imports System.Collections Imports System.Windows.Forms Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic Imports System.Collections.Generic Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
when i search google about them,the introduction about them is too professinal for me to understand......i just want to know what i can do by using them ...
-------------------------
sorry for disturbing you so much!!!
best regards!

y conversion all takes place in a single component in which three inputs convert a "value", an "input" unit type, and an "output" unit type resulting in an output from the component whose value has been converted from the specified input system of measurement to the output system. The result is fast simple conversion between common systems of measurement covering, Length, Area, Volume, and Mass. Under each one of these classifications a series of components is available which contain units of measure under a single system of measurement. For example under Length, there is a component for SI (Metric), US Customary, UK Imperial, etc.. Each of these components then contains a comprehensive set of units of measurement from each system. For example under US Customary units such as Inch, Foot, Mile, etc.. are available for selection. If two complimentary systems are used, the component simply uses the SI base conversion to convert the value from the specified unit type to the SI equivalent then converts that value to the specified output unit. Each conversion value is rounded to the 30th significant digit when needed. The converted value is then returned through the "result" output. If the two systems are not directly compatible, for example converting a length to a mass, the "result" output will return a null value and the "status" output will show the compatibility issue. Because there are a total of 29 unit sets in the first release of Caterpillar, each unit set has been collapsed into a single user object. This allows editing down of the options available in grasshopper by simply removing the user object from the User Objects folder in Grasshopper. In addition to these categorized unit types, the Rhino Units component, returns the Rhino scene's current value type as per the components last refresh. The conversion component will take this output and match it to either length, area by squaring, or volume by cubing the units conversion value.
Caterpillar is currently an alpha release, as all values available have been triple checked and vetted across three sources each, the accepted source is linked to in the Conversion Table document. However these components have not gone through a complete debugging and have not been tried in all possible combinations. It is recommended that preliminary conversions are verified from in independent source before use, see Notes section for list of sources.…

ive 'correct' normal.
Non-normalized cross products is effectively weighting face normals by area, and is fast and simple, so we put that one as the default.
In some cases normalizing the cross-products improves the result, but not always.
Another option is to weight by angles, though this is computationally slightly more expensive, so might not be ideal for real-time updates on large meshes.
As an example, here is a mesh with a 90° corner, and uneven meshing on the 2 sides.
The arrows show:
0- Area weighted (non-normalized cross products)
1- Angle weighted
2- Normalized cross-products
Here the angle-weighted normal is the one at 45°, which is intuitively the 'best' one in this case.
These 3 seem to be the most commonly used, but there are many other possible definitions of normals - such as inverse-area weighted, mean curvature, etc...
I think really what would be best would be to put a few of these into Plankton, and include an optional argument in GetNormal for selecting which one you need for a particular application.
Pull requests welcome if you feel inspired to add this!

us allows Grasshopper authors to stream geometry to the web in real time. It works like a chatroom for parametric geometry, and allows for on-the-fly 3D model mashups in the web browser. Multiple [Grasshopper] authors can stream geometry into a shared 3D environment on the web – a Platypus Session – and multiple viewers can join that session on 3dplatyp.us to interact with the 3D model. Platypus can be used to present parametric 3D models to a remote audience, to quickly collaborate with other Grasshopper users, or both!
You can down load the Grasshopper plugin at food4rhino, and visit 3dplatyp.us to view your geometry on the web. This first round of Alpha testing will run for two weeks, until April 24 2014, after which the Grasshopper components will not solve.
We are very interested in hearing feedback from the community while the project is still in the prototyping stages of development. Please use the comments on this discussion to ask questions, suggest ideas, report bugs, etc. We are planning on rolling out another public alpha release or two this Spring, depending on how this first one goes, in advance of our Technology Symposium and Hackathon in New York.
Check out our getting started video below, and enjoy!

e rod with circular section (no goals allow for controlling torsion for what I know). The rods are set with two options, with straight rest position or the (initial) bent one. The calibration integrated with the model is more about giving a scale between the forces rather than the will to accurately simulate them (at the moment). Anyway, I am trying to do it on a macro scale, instead of a micro, with elements which are rather thin.
The system at the moment is not stable. In fact, besides the rods' characteristics is quite fundamental to keep them planar when they intersect. I am lacking something but also probably missing some parameters. In the script, there are two goals to define this: impose 90° between vertical and horizontal, as well as between these and a normal to their intersection. For my understanding, angle goal works tri-dimensionally without a preferred plane and this (hopefully) should address it.
Just wondering if anyone can give me a hint on this. After this step, it would be great to understand if the system can get out of its plane (through a pull force out of its plane, simulated in the script through point loads in the joints). I am still not entirely sure about the possibility of doing this. By looking at how other auxetic patterns have been used to generate freeform surfaces, I am giving it a try.
Thank you
Claudio
PS: I noticed also this post and this, really interesting. I see the problematic over the stability and the necessity to separate the states with an energetic hill in the first, as well as some potential in using auxetics in the latter.…
