see in my bottom post image there is only one isocurve showing in U and V.
In Grasshopper there's no surface rebuild? Well, the same old Grasshopper Patch command will let you specify spans I guess, to make a surface from a planar curve, but it won't work for things with holes since they will just fill in!
You can recreate a surface painfully by untrimming, adding many UV points, rebuilding from those points, then retrimming with the original surface info, but the retrimming simply fails.
If you make a planar surface from a curve in Rhino, you end up with utterly no point editability:
No wonder my CreatePatch tests were a failure. The starting surface could not be distorted except in the extreme case of moving four corner points!
I have no idea how to successfully rebuild a surface akin to the Rhino rebuild command. It's great to be able to prototype in Grasshopper, but with Python I can rebuild easily ( http://4.rhino3d.com/5/rhinocommon/?topic=html/M_Rhino_Geometry_Surface_Rebuild.htm ;), so I guess I should start a collection, like peter, of little script components for prototyping with.…

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.

h Shading--DC to AC derate Factor--Photovoltaics Module, can calculate the ACenergy of different pv arrays by Galapagos. The process can evaluate the self shading from the input analysisGeometry and surrounding shading from the input context.
2. PV SWH Systemsize, can also do that, but there would be no second type of self shading for the chosen minimalSpacingPeriod_ criteria.
3. TOF outputs optimal angle and azimuth.
So my question is, if I choose to make a curved roof to form a best pv array with best ACenergy, whether should I only choose the first above, the second PV SWH Systemsize can only deal with the angled or flat surface, not the curved? What's the relationship between TOF and PV SWH Systemsize?
Also, I'll do my best to make a parametric model as soon as possible and upload it to you, so we can make the discussion more detailed.
Best regards.…
face, the larger the number of modules and system size, there for the higher annual energy generation.baseSurface_ - this input exists only for "PV SWH system size" component. It's purpose is to represent a mounting plane on which the PV modules will be put onto. The dark blue colored roof in the photo below is that mounting surface in this case:
So the size of area of the baseSurface_ is not important but its plane.
2) It is important. It basically sets the initial losses of the system.
If that is the soiling value you have, then yes, you need to add it to the DC to AC derate factor component, and then plug its output to "DCtoACderateFactor_" input. I did that in the attached definition below.
3) The north vector/numeric value is not propagated due to possible independent usage of components.I plugged the 0 value to all three component's which have "north_" input. You can change it to what ever value you need.
Please let me know if I didn't answer completely to your questions, or if you have more of them.…
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.

egin working on a design, we first have to systematically examine the resources and restrictions which, on the one hand, make every design project possible and, on the other hand, also define and delimit it. Knowing what we have to work with enables us to explore its boundaries and at the same time to venture beyond those boundaries. This is our studio’s sphere of action; our projects emerge as a critical reflection of the discipline of architecture, in its essence, on fundamental concepts, their general form, and their underlying media and processes. The goal of our work is to master a variety of forms of the architectural repertoire of the 20th century, but especially to develop and expand this repertoire, as has been happening in the past 20 years. The goal of this workshop is to introduce a series of these techniques and expertises and to apply the knowledge transfer on a given site in Timisoara.

I am using grasshopper 0.8.0050 and Rhino 4 SR8. I tried uninstalling it, and then installing it again. The same. It is interesting that until yesterday, everything was fine. What could possibly be the cause of a problem?
Thank you.…
