Meeting Agenda:
1) Discuss what the group would like to learn this term through our regular scheduled meetings. Topics include the priority and sequence of Grasshopper exercises we would like to explore during the winter term from http://www.digitaltoolbox.info/grasshopper_basic.html and Processing tutorials from the Processing Handbook I received from MIT.
2) Watch the Matt Storus Church Machine video and have a discussion about parametric and generative tools in design.
If you have a chance, please read the following article by Tim Love called Between Mission Statement and Parametric Model at:
http://places.designobserver.com/entry.html?entry=10757
3) Discuss a possible design build project over the following winter and spring terms using the skill set this group is developing. Conversation led by Chris Nielson (please see comments below for a brief backstory)
4) Discuss possible applied research and design work for the National Conference on the Beginning Design Student paper, Machine Craft and the Contemporary Designer: exploring parameters and variables through making physical artifacts. I wrote the attached abstract and submitted it for the conference the past fall and it was accepted. To continue with the research I need to assemble a team of students that will help explore the principles I set forth by making physical objects with the cnc router. In exchange for helping with the research I will show participants how to use the cnc router, how to author machine code and provide you with the cnc controller interface software necessary to simulate machine movements. Not to mention, your work will be sited in the research paper I present at the conference at UNC Charlotte in March. More tomorrow night, of course.
Thank you for your interest and I hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
Erik Hegre

All,
In response to Erik, who requested that I describe my intentions in a design-build project and to the article posted (definitely required reading for this group) I propose that we begin development of a project that spans the realm of "sustainable social" architecture and parametric design. The particulars of such a design do need to be made concrete, and it will be important to define the goals of such a project.
Therefore, I would suggest that this serve as a forum for the next few weeks for those interested in producing a built project. I agree with Nico that it may not be feasible to create the built piece, whatever it may be, this term; however we should have the groundwork and a plan in place by the end of the next 10 weeks.
Either way, I would ask that everyone who is interested to please provide as many concepts to this forum to begin a discussion. If you are indeed interested, please submit goals that this project could achieve (energy, socially, aesthetically, economically, related) and perhaps what you envision the project to physically be (shading device, public bench, water catchment, interactive thermal contraption, etc . . . )
I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Cheers,
Christopher…
2015. You will have the opportunity to play with an experimental large scale distributed framework we have been busy with over the last few months called 'Stampede'. You will get knowledge on MDO and parametric design, meet some of the developers of the framework, hands-on experience and investigate the gained results in an experimental atmosphere. You will be working with Rhino and Grasshopper during the workshop.
PROGRAMME
The workshop will start with an introduction on Stampede and the different technologies involved, such as cloud computing, parametric modelling and multi-disciplinary design optimisation. After the presentations, we will discuss an example use case, get to work with and gain some hands-on experience by applying your newly gained knowledge to design your own multi-disciplinary design optimisation model and investigate its behaviour.
REGISTRATION
Excited? The IASS conference organisation lowered the price of the two-day workshop from € 250,- to € 150,-. You can register here via the IASS2015 website. The workshop is also available for people who did not register for the IASS2015 Symposium. There is also a rumour around that if you e-mail White Lioness that you can get a code for a even bigger discount.
MORE INFORMATION
Keep an eye on the Stampede website if you want to keep up to date with the latest developments about the workshop. Updated information about Stampede and the workshop will be regularly posted.

ls of access and sometimes different ways to compute, it begins to be quite confusing.
A simple exemple: let's say I have a component that can work the same way with different sets of inputs. I can have a few inputs that never change, since they are always required in all methods. Then I usually put a "Method" or "Mode" integer value, where you can choose the kind of set to listen to. Then I have all the inputs that may be used for the sets, and of course they are not always optional anymore when the "Method" input changes. It's quite useful to do all-in-one components (taking less space in the toolbars, even more when the toolbar is already full).
Dumb exemple:
//SURVIVAL IN LONDON//
Name: Your name
Difficulty: 0=Easy, 1=Medium, 2=Hard.
EasyOption: OPTIONAL // If you are in Easy mode, are you afraid of burgers?
MediumOption: OPTIONAL // If you are in Medium mode, are you afraid of kebabs?
HardOption: OPTIONAL // If you are in Hard mode, are you afraid of chicken katsu?
Of course the list of option here is simple, but it often gets messy with some "If you are in Easy or Hard Mode and your name becomes by a T then this input works with another one" kind of things, etc.
At the end, anybody who wants to use the component just takes a huge thing on the canvas with so many inputs that they don't even want to understand the tooltips anymore.
So I was thinking that maybe it would be useful to have some font style to help a bit. If they can be associated and updated with other things (the "Mode" switch thing) then it's even better, but just simple optional / not optional stuff would already be really helpful I suppose.

t know if it's common knowledge but in the PD of jewelry, for large scale production, the options are in the dozens if not in the hundreds as in a 3 stone ring (that's my next quest and believe me it is extremely complex and elaborated) which, if you do not draw the line somewhere, you could end up with a definition 10 times as big. I could make a list of the preliminary factors and you could begin to understand at least this one presented here, that looks simple but is not.
If you are a real jeweler and know how many details (interdependent with each others) are needed in order to cover unpredictable factors and lousy tolerances then you'll begin to cover an overextended territory.
For example: if you get to certain stone size then the prongs need to change, but not the bezels, and the bite for setting can go for technical integrity up to a point, because then the look is not appropriate.
If the metal it's platinum you can leave some things as they are but interconnections for metal flow has to change in some area but not if it is in gold.
Some stone count may not fit a particular finger size without going too high or too low, so the bezels need to compensate for this in thickness and visual relationship between them so that when I input a different finger size GH knows what to do based on many more factors etc. etc.
The fact that all geometry is in GH accounts for so many more components.
All this needs to work across the definition, so that if I say this is the stone size I want, all the prongs will need to move apart to have the right bite but with a diameter that is not out of proportions otherwise the stones need automatically to move slightly apart. It's endless.
For this reason we needed to define the market expectations (and have all controls for those ones in GH) and leave the eccentric to a manual manipulation.
Grasshopper it's a hell of a tool to transfer my 40 years of jewelry making (since a little boy :)
but I think I am using maybe 20% of its power.
We used SolidThinking because of the construction tree but there is nothing like Rhino and GH combined!
I wish I was free to share this definition in order to learn from advanced minds here but this time I can't. The next one will be mine (intellectual and technical property) and I can't wait to see how other will take it to the next level.
That's the best way to learn.…
will occur only after a certain amount of time has passed or a condition has been met.
When using firefly, I constantly need to wait for a data set to be filled before I send a boolean to another component.
I am trying to use python's 'time' module to mitigate this; however, it does not work like a time delay in processing or arduino would. Instead, it waits and sends all the data at once in a condition like this:
import time
a = []
for i in range(20):
if i % 2 == 0:
time.sleep(.5)
a.append(i+2)
else:
print 'better luck next time'
Another sample code that freezes:
import time
while True:
if x == 1:
time.sleep(.5)
print 'now waiting...'
a = 0
else:
a = 1
print 'finished'
break
Thank you in advance…

Hi friends,
trying to get a cumulative sky image metric to run and encountered an issue with the image-based metrics component. It throws:
Runtime error (KeyNotFoundException): honeybee_materialLib Traceback: line 768, in main, "<string>" line 1442, in script
I guess this is some sort of setup issue on my end, or I messed up the definition? Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Max

e openings with the simple calculation of room air and IES.
I am testing a shoebox of 15x5m, 3m height, 2 windows of 1sqm, only 1 person of internal gains, no heating, no cooling, basically nothing.
The tests were running fine with the "Wind pressure coefficient type" as Input on the AFN simulation control. But, as the number of ach that I was obtaining was tiny (approx. 1/6 of the ach of room air) I thought that the problem could be the Input and my wind pressure coefficient calculations. Therefore, I changed the WPCoefficient type to "Average surface calculation" and I deleted all the wind pressure elements.
As soon as I change this (and only this) the simulation crashes because of the error "DualSetPointWithDeadBand: Unanticipated combination of heating and cooling loads - report to EnergyPlus Development Team" And also, my heating set point changes from -100 degrees to 12
I've look for this in the bigladder manual for energy plus and looks like if I had set a thermostatic zone control on dual set point with dead band, what I haven't, because, to be honest, I didn't even know it existed.
I hope any of you can help me, because I've been trying hard, but I don't find which is the problem.
I have to say that all the AFN data is internalised (beside the run simulation) and will be a bit difficult to read. I'm sorry for this but, as they are about 20 user objects, I thought it was too much to upload.
Thanks a lot…
arq, que se celebrará entre el 28 de Enero y el 1 de Febrero de 2013 en el Colegio de Arquitectos de Granada.
El taller está destinado a arquitectos, artistas y diseñadores, tanto como profesionales, como estudiantes de grado y posgrado, que, sin necesidad de haber tenido ningún contacto previo con entornos de programación o herramientas informáticas de dibujo paramétrico o generativo, están interesados en probar y experimentar con las opciones que nos pueden ofrecer a los diseñadores.
El taller está dividido en tres bloques:
Curso intensivo: del 28 de Enero al 30 de Febrero, en horario de mañana, de 10 a 14. Taller de proyectos: del 28 de Enero al 30 de Febrero, por la tarde, de 16 a 20; y el 31 de Febrero, durante todo el día.
Presentaciones: viernes 1 de Febrero, mañana y tarde.
Utilizaremos Grasshopper, el editor algorítmico asociado al software de modelado tridimensional y dibujo Rhinoceros, por su facilidad de aprendizaje, al tratarse de un entorno gráfico, facilidad de adquisición, al ser gratuito y haber disponible una versión de prueba de Rhinoceros también gratuita, y amplia difusión en los últimos años. Y lo emplearemos tanto como modelador, como conector entre otros softwares y varias disciplinas. Por este motivo, también utilizaremos algunos de sus plug-ins, como Geco, para análisis ambiental, Elk, para enlazarlo con OpenStreetMap o Kangaroo, para simulación de sistemas físicos.
Lo único que necesitas es un ordenador portátil (si no pudieras conseguir), hacer el ingreso con el importe correspondiente y mandarnos tus datos y el recibo bancario del ingreso a smartlabgranada@gmail.com. Puedes ver los detalles en el apartado de Inscripción. El resto del material, tanto software como hardware, lo ponemos nosotros.
Nuestro acercamiento a estas herramientas es entusiasta acerca del potencial creativo que pueden ofrecer a diseñadores y artistas, pero también crítico y especulativo. Nos alejamos tanto de una posición puramente formalista, como del estricto funcionalismo, a los que desde los últimos años frecuentemente se ha asociado a esta disciplina.…
