sinergetici associati alla compresenza simultanea di differenti strumenti di analisi e digital design all'interno di un processo di progettazione in svolgimento. I partecipanti utilizzeranno Grasshopper (modellatore parametrico per Rhino): l'uso di questo editor grafico di algoritmi si integra alla perfezione con gli strumenti di modellazione di Rhinoceros 3D espandendo le possibilità di corstruire modelli parametrici altamente complessi. Per generare una complessità simile saranno utilizzati collegamenti live ai diversi programmi elencati di seguito: . Autodesk Ecotect Analysis via GECO . FEA software GSA via SSI Durante questi intensi 3 giorni, i partecipanti impareranno il workflow dei plug-ins con l'aiuto di esempi esplorando una panoramica dei differenti software, le possibilità di testare le performances di un progetto o l'uso di strumenti addizionali non legati ad un singolo sistema (es. accentuazione, formazione, reazione parametrica) [english text] The focus of the workshop is to integrate and correlate the synergistic effect associated with simultaneous presence of different digital design- and analysis tools in an ongoing design process. The main attention is set on easy to handle interface , which should be used at a early stage of conceptual design to respond to external and internal influences in a intelligent and sustainable way. Participants will use the software Grasshopper as a parametric modeling plug-in for Rhino. The usage of this graphical algorithm editor tightly integrated with Rhino's 3-D modeling tools open up the possibility to construct highly parametrical complex models. To generate this complexity we will use live linkages to several programs listed below: . Autodesk Ecotect Analysis via GECO . FEA software GSA via SSI In this 3 intense days, the participants should learn the workflow of the plug-ins with the help of examples and get an overview of the different software's, there possibilities for evaluating the performance of a design or the usage of additional tools to be not chained to a single system . (e.g. parametrical accentuation, parametrical formation, parametrical reaction) [.] Dettagli : Istruttori: Thomas Grabner & Ursula Frick from [uto]. lingua del corso: inglese (saranno disponibili tutor di supporto ma è richiesta una conoscenza di base della lingua unglese).

nside the zone. I would move your comfort evaluation surface to be 1 meter off the ground in order to be representative of typical human height.
Also, you did not intersect the ground with the rest of the zone geometry, resulting in an incorrect energy simulation. After intersection, you also get one surface of the ground zone that is not inside any buildings. I fixed these two things in the attached file ad it works:
I would also recommend breaking the top surface of the ground up into sub-surfaces so that you can capture the variation in ground surface temperature that happens across the outdoors. Second, I would recommend putting some windows on your buildings as the exterior surface temperature of windows can be very different than that of opaque surfaces. Finally, you should keep in mind that the outdoor maps are assuming a very basic outdoor wind profile by default and, to accurately understand outdoor comfort, you really should be incorporating wind patterns after running a CFD. This discussion has some information about importing CFD from other programs to GH:

the space that you are designing and your design intent. Just think about an atrium vs a museum. And now think of the atrium in two different climate zones. As a [lighting] designer you make the decision on how do you want the space to be, how the climate is and then try to take advantage of skylight and/or direct sunlight to achieve your design goals.
2. Yes. There is a watchTheSky component next to sky types which let you visualize the sky. There is also an example file that you can check.
3. This one again depends on your model. For your model I would suggest a minimum number of 4 for your final analysis. -ab is only one of the parameters. Check this slides by John Mardaljevic if you want to have a better understanding of radiance parameters and their effect on the results.
I also added the link to "Tutorial on the Use of Daysim Simulations for Sustainable Design" by Christoph Reinhart to teaching materials. I encourage you to at least read chapters 1 and 2 of the tutorial. Check pages 25 and 27 have two examples about selecting the parameters.
Great questions. Keep them coming.

evel in which each final branch contains a list of one number from each list in all its variations with the other two lists.

xy
Becomes eight possible combinations:
1Ax
1Ay
1Bx
1By
2Ax
2Ay
2Bx
2By
Either I could immediately break into 8 branches or branch twice from 2 items to 4 items then from those 4 items to 8 final items. I keep trying grafting with all manner of tree components and *never* obtain a simple dual branching fractal tree structure. I barely even need a tree actually, but I'd prefer each final branch to contain a list I can pull each final value individual value out of rather than dealing with string extraction. This is all to eventually plug all these variations into a parametric mesh model that now uses three sliders, and Python script also to bake them all as OBJ files.
Crucially I also need to obtain the numbers to use as part of my multiply exported OBJ files. I can so far only get a single range to export as a series of OBJ files automatically but not the whole three list array of them.

ace when I start running Galapagos/Octopus (below is "room orientation optimization" shared at http://hydrashare.github.io/hydra/viewer?owner=mostaphaRoudsari&fork=hydra_1&id=Room_Orientation_Optimization&slide=0&scale=1&offset=0,0) It may take quite some time to see some results. That's fine for the above simulation. But my real challenge is, when I am going to optimize room dimension with respect to ASE and sDA calculations, either Galapagos or Octopus goes wildly and never come up with a solution. I believe the time-consuming calculation, especially sDA with higher -ab numbers, trigger the lag a lot? Any suggestion/trick to improve it?
Most importantly, based on your experience, for example to optimize window/exterior shades sizes and achieve ASE<10% and sDA>55% (LEED v.4 requirements), Octopus (due to its capacity of multiple objectives) is the only choice? Any other approaches within grasshopper?
Many thank!

ers and researchers, programmers and artists, professionals and academics who come together for 4 days of intense collaboration, development, and design.
The sg2012 Workshop will be organised around Clusters. Clusters are hubs of expertise. They comprise of people, knowledge, tools, materials and machines. The Clusters provide a focus for workshop participants working together within a common framework.
Clusters provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, processes and techniques and act as a catalyst for design resolution. The Workshop is made up of ten Clusters that respond in diverse ways to the sg2012 Challenge Material Intensities.
Applicants to the sg2012 Workshop will select their preferred cluster from the following:
Beyond Mechanics
Micro Synergetics
Composite Territories
Ceramics 2.0
Material Conflicts
Transgranular Perspiration
Reactive Acoustic Environments
Form Follows Flow
Bioresponsive Building Envelopes
Gridshell Digital Tectonics
More information about the Workshop and Clusters can be found here:
http://smartgeometry.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=116&Itemid=131
The application process will close on January 15th, 2012.
Full Fee $1500
Reduced Fee $750
Scholarship Fee $350
Fees include attendance to both the workshop and conference from March 19th-24th.
Reduced Fee and Scholarships are available only for Academics, Students and Young Practitioners, and are awarded during a competitive peer review process.
sg2012 takes place from 19-24 March 2012 at EMPAC (http://empac.rpi.edu/) and is hosted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, upstate New York USA. The Workshop and Conference will be a gathering of the global community of innovators and pioneers in the fields of architecture, design and engineering.
The event will be in two parts: a four day Workshop 19-22 March, and a public conference beginning with Talkshop 23 March, followed by a Symposium 24 March. The event follows the format of the highly successful preceding events sg2010 Barcelona and sg2011 Copenhagen.
sg2012 Challenge Material Intensities
Simulation, Energy, Environment
Imagine the design space of architecture was no longer at the scale of rooms, walls and atria, but that of cells, grains and vapour droplets. Rather than the flow of people, services, or construction schedules, the focus becomes the flow of light, vapour, molecular vibrations and growth schedules: design from the inside out.
The sg2012 challenge, Material Intensities, is intended to dissolve our notion of the built environment as inert constructions enclosing physically sealed spaces. Spaces and boundaries are abundant with vibration, fluctuating intensities, shifting gradients and flows. The materials that define them are in a continual state of becoming: a dance of energy and information. Material potential is defined by multiple properties: acoustical, chemical, electrical, environmental, magnetic, manufacturing, mechanical, optical, radiological, sensorial, and thermal. The challenge for sg2012 Material Intensities is to consider material economy when creating environments, micro-climates and contexts congenial for social interaction, activities and organisation. This challenge calls for design innovation and dialogue between disciplines and responsibilities. sg2010 Working Prototypes strove to emancipate digital design from the hard drive by moving from the virtual to the actual in wrestling with the tangible world of physical fabrication. sg2011 Building the Invisible focused on informing digital design with real world data. sg2012 Material Intensities strives to energise our digital prototypes and infuse them with material behaviour. They have the potential to become rich simulations informed by the material dynamics, chemical composition, energy flows, force fields and environmental conditions that feed back into the design process.

ram.com/Helicoid.html.
To be more precise, I'm not quite clear how to apply this equation to the helicoid and integrate it into my code:
where corresponds to a helicoid and to a catenoid.
I've made some attempts not worth to be shown here. Maybe somebody can help me with a pseudocode or a simple description how to start solving this classic geometric transformation.
Thanks, Sebastian
