ts. Ideally, I'd like to set the exact number of points populating the region, ie 211 in GH = 211 visible in rhino.
(I was able to achieve the exact number of points using populate2d instead of sdivide, but could only get this to work with a simple rectangular region)
2) After I have exactly 211 points, I'd like to populate each of the points with a block made in rhino (for example: the stick figure man seen in the view)
(One idea is that I build a dummy geometry and replace later with my block in rhino. But how do I make this change universally over the 211 points?)

This workshop is aimed towards beginner to intermediate users of Karamba3D however advanced users are also encouraged to apply. It is open to both professional and academic users.
Earlybird (until May 10):
Professional EUR 750 (+VAT)
Educational EUR 375 (+VAT)
Course Fee:
Professional EUR 825 (+VAT)
Educational EUR 415 (+VAT)
Course Outline
Introduction & Presentation of project examples
Optimization of cross sections of line based and surface based elements

Places are limited to a maximum of 10 participants with limited educational places. A minimum of 4 places are required for the workshop to take place.
The workshop will be cancelled should this quota not be filled by May 31st.
The workshop will be taught in English. Basic Rhino and Grasshopper knowledge is recommended. No knowledge of Karamba3D is needed.
Participants should bring their own laptops with either Rhino5/Rhino6 and Grasshopper3d installed. A 90 day trial version of Rhino can be downloaded from Rhino3d.
Karamba3D ½ year licenses for non-commercial use will be provided to all participants.

e and i get it. If you have time check the attached papers we published a while ago in relation to the contribution of thermal mass in the reduction of temperature in residential buildings. See the nice contribution of the heavy TM or the lower one for light TM.
As for the solarHeatCapacity, your description (of the 50W) is derived on a 1 Facade/Floor ratio and fully glazed. The only way to reduce it is to increase the ratio (bigger facade area). Which is not recommended (energy losses), but this is a different issue. So, roughly, we can say that 50 is the lower value. If i have less glazing area this number will be higher (right?)
I want to define a value list of "architectural situations", so it is easy to explain and understand. One situation can be:
"Ratio facade/floor 1 & Fully glazed" = 50
"Ratio facade/floor 1 & Half glazed" = 75
"Ratio facade/floor 1.5 & Fully glazed" = 30
"Ratio facade/floor 1.5 & Half glazed" = 50
"Ratio facade/floor 0.75 & Fully glazed" = 70
"Ratio facade/floor 0.75 & Half glazed" = 90
Makes sense for you something like this?
I also defined a value list for the timeConstant like this:
Light Building (Mobile home) = 1Medium-light building (Cement tiles on floor) = 4Semi Heavy Building (Concrete floor + Tiles) = 8Heavy Building (Concrete floors/ceilings + Heavy external and internal walls) = 12
As for the first 5-10 cm effective TM in general my assumption is that you take half of the mass to your space and half to the space above/below you. Will be interesting to do a parametric study on just the thermal mass, uninsulated and insulated to see what the depth limits effectivity will be. Interested in doing such a study together? Can be a nice work even for publishing.
Thanks a lot ... again,

In this case we see a geometrically approach, which doesn’t works efficient, because it required knowing how they behaviors together before, and I think it is not the ‘really behaves’.
To make the structure ‘really behaves’ I tried use kangaroo and the result works very well! As you can see I simply give the 2-set reverse UForce, and then they start to rotate until they found their equilibrium. That means 90 degree rotation. I was wondering what we can do to make a endless-rotation. I am mean 360 degree or more like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4owFczeqqMQ
By the way, I try to give supports which allow a horizontal movement only (Just curious how we could keep the anchor-movement horizontally and in the same layer, for example like usual supports for compression ring…). I use the AnchorXYZ, but Kangaroo-Engine seems don’t accept its output.
So maybe some one knows a better solution?

problem later) to fit more shapes that are otherwise won't fit in.
On the example below horizontal rectangle couldn't fit in but its rotated analog could and thus was placed in.
Later, when placed shapes are used to generate frames, because of this rotation, the position of the starting points changes and because of the approach I use to generate the frames some angle values are attached to the wrong corners, this brakes the frame shape and looks like this (on the left the frame of sick shape and on the right the frame of the healthy shape):
Again, this happens because the angle values are assigned to the specific corners (points) and previously rotated shapes get these all messed up:
Easy fix, don't rotate the shapes, problem is, I've already baked a good number of them for later use. I'd like to avoid regeneration because it takes a lot of time and without rotation I constrict the algorithm even more.
Better fix, use a different approach, this is where I'd like to hear suggestions and kicks in a right direction. Please take a look at my definition. It works but I have a feeling like giving an amputee a job of sweeping the floor.

Public concerné /
Architectes et designers, utilisateurs de Rhino souhaitant paramétrer Rhinocéros à l’aide de Grasshopper,
programme associant des composants et une structure de graphe interagissants avec le modèle Rhino.
Une bonne connaissance de Rhinocéros est nécessaire. La langue de la formation est le français.
Structure et Objectif de la formation /
La formation se déroule sur 3 jours : les 2 premières journées sont consacrées aux « fondamentaux » de
Grasshopper avec en préambule une introduction au design et à l’architecture paramétrique et leurs impacts
dans la conception, la création et la construction.
La troisième journée sous forme d’atelier est dédiée à l’étude de cas concrets proposés par les stagiaires, qui,
quelques jours avant la formation, pourront envoyer leurs projets par mail à - info AT rhinoforyou DOT com -
Les stagiaires, après la formation, pourront rester en contact avec les formateurs de HDA par le biais du
blog complexitys.com et le twitter @HDA_Paris. La durée de cette formation permettra d’atteindre une
autonomie et une bonne compréhension basée sur des exemples concrets.

Data matching is a problem without a clean solution. It occurs when a component has access to differently sized inputs. Imagine a component which creates line segments between points. It will have…
product_info&cPath=17&products_id=68). It's a little light on sensors, so you may want to look through the sensors page on the adafruit website and choose a few that look interesting to you. If you have a little more money, here are two other kits which have many more components that will help round out your electronics supply. Here is a good one for around $85 (http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17&products_id=170). And here's another great one from SparkFun for around $95 (http://www.sparkfun.com/products/10173). Of course, you can buy an Arduino Uno for around $29.99 and you can purchase each of these components separately and only choose the ones you need (and perhaps save some money)... but these are pretty good kits which include all the stuff you need to get started. Good luck.
