e position of the bounding box would have to be re-evaluated after each iteration of the kangaroo solver.
The overall aim of this is to add a "proportions" goal to the scripts of the balloon packing discussion.
I could imagine a goal, which evaluates the bounding box of all particles in a mesh and acts on the ones that are below or above the centered domain.
Below a quick sketch of how this could work.
Best,
Leo

dsheet.
The result would resemble this, but perhaps in 3 dimensions as well.

I was able to create the areas (circles), and connect them based on "true/false" data from an adajency matrix >http://www.fourc3.com/idthesis1112/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Adjancy-matric.jpg
Circles were than color coded based on the number of connections (importance?)
What I am struggling to do, is find a way to spatially distribute the circles in a way that makes sense and reads well. I guess it has to do with the level and hierarchy of each entry.
This kind of shows what I trying to say: entries land on circles, and move outwards based on its level.

I found this program, Cytoscape, which appears to be capable of doing something along these lines. Apparently, Cytoscape has a few "packing" or distributional algorithms to get the elements laid out properly. http://www.cytoscape.org/
Any idea of how something like this could be achieved in Grasshopper?

I see this as something that I will need for my work this upcoming semester and so I can tell you that I will implement it within 3 months if no one else does sooner.
First on my agenda is a set of natural ventilation objects, though, which also seem to be in demand by a lot of people on this thread.
I second your call for focusing on passive strategies. I feel that the energy modeling community these days is undergoing something similar to that which happened to the aerospace industry over the last couple of decades. Namely, where all of these crazy innovative technologies were created with the aim of space exploration and yet most significant impacts that the industry has created have been in terms of satellite images and communications around Earth. Similarly, many innovative energy modelling technologies have been created with the aim of enabling digitally-controlled smart walls and vacuum insulated structures and yet the most widespread impacts have tended to be in terms of assessment of passive design strategies. The ways in which technologies are sold during development versus how they used in applications are interesting.

Hi Matthew, Thanks for such a swift response and sorry for the false alarm. After reinstalling Karamba the examples open without a problem.
I hoped that the examples will clarify something, unfortunately you do not use Beam Resultant Forces' output as a source of optimization criteria/objective there.
I am still having problem with the fact that Beam Resultant Forces component gives a list of zeros as a 1st output till it finishes calculation.
This is my case: 1. Karamba calculates normal forces in elements that are in the mast's traversal plane (mast sections, spreaders and wires (shrouds)). 2. Normal forces in forestays and backstays are calculated analytically elsewhere. 3. Having the normal forces in the wires, the algorithm selects the wires' diameters (having given the wires catalogue), calculates their weights and centers of gravity. 4. Objectives are: minimizing the mass and minimizing the VCG (vertical centre of gravity). They are convergent, but constraint (minimal sail area) is dealing with it. 5. The thing is that normal forces from Karamba and calculated analytically arrives at different times (Karamba need a bit more time). I tried to delay the other data (till Karamba finishes calculation) with Data Dam, Anemone's Time Buffer, Phyton/C#/VB components, but all of them caused that Octopus/Wallacei weren't working correctly.
Any idea comes to your mind how this problem might be solved?
Thanks, Mikołaj…

HiIf you are encountering a problem with rhino 6 versions don't worryFollow these steps.1. Download SYNTACTIC from https://sites.google.com/site/pirouznourian/syntactic-design2. Install it and go to the installation folder, Drag & drop SYNTACTIC(green one) over your grasshopper canvas.3. Close your rhino and reopen it. 4. Type GrasshopperDeveloperSettings5. Tick the Memory load *.GHA assemblies using COFF byte arrays option6. Run grasshopper and enjoy plugin
I hope this helps,
Best regards,

imilar topic with a Windows 10 user, which successfully fixed this issue.If you are tiny little patient, I think we can try the same steps in your Windows 7 case.For start, try these three steps:1) Close Rhino. Restart your PC. 2) Once the PC boots up, double click on the "regMapWinGIS.cmd" file in "MapWinGIS" installation folder.3) When it closes the Command Prompt window it opened, try running Rhino, Grasshopper and drop the "Gismo Gismo" component on the canvas (Grasshopper working area).If this does not help (you get the same COM class factory CLSID error message coming out from the "Gismo Gismo" component), then try the following steps, one by one:
1) Close Grasshopper and Rhino2) Run the Revo Uninstaller Pro and uninstall your MapWinGIS application along with removing all the leftovers from the registry. You can download 30 days trial version of it from here. Here is a youtube example of a bit older Revo Uninstaller. But the important part is that is shows how registry leftovers are removed.3) Restart your PC, and once it boots again, make sure that you are logged in as an Adminstrator!4) In your Start menu's search box type: "UAC", which will find your User Account Control Settings. Click on it, and a new window will open. Set the bar on the left to "Never notify".5) Turn off your Antivirus, which ever it is.6) Download the 64 bit version of v4.9.4.2 MapWinGIS.7) Right click on downloaded MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file, and choose "Properties". If there is "Unblock" button click on it, and then click on "OK". If there is no "Unblock" button, just click on "OK".8) Left double click on MapWinGIS-only-v4.9.4.2-x64.exe file and install it to "C:\dev\MapWinGIS" folder. Choose "Full installation" during installation process!9) In your Start menu's search box type: "CMD". Once the "Command prompt" appears do not left click on it! Instead right click on it, and choose "Run as Administrator".10) A command prompt window will open. Type the following command:
"your_regsvr32_folder_path\regsvr32.exe" /u /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx
If command does not result in an error message, then type this one afterwards:
"your_regsvr32_folder_path\regsvr32.exe" /s c:\dev\mapwingis\mapwingis.ocx
11) If no error appeared again, then open your Rhino and Grasshopper and check what "Gismo Gismo" component prints from its "readMe!" output.If errors appeared, please post their screenshots. Thank you in advance.
Please accept my apologies for the large number of steps. Some of them are quite simple actually (click on this, download that...).…

r interface to gsa, you'll find technical help/descriptions in it's help system. Certainly changing the type to Bar overrides any user defined releases.
The gsa solver must make special allowance for node "stability" when the elements connected are all bars (for rotation). If you're circumstance when you change type to Beams, your end releases are applied to axial and shear at all ends (note you can change the "close model" input on the solver component to false so you can see the analysis error). I think I previously discussed with Oasys about the COM interface sending back the "log" so I could display it in Grasshopper. Elements with axial and shear releases both ends are unrestrained, so it's causing the solver error. If you say released Fx and Fy at both ends it might work (I didn't test), certainly at one end only it should.
There's a hidden component (I can't remember if it's completed or not, i think so but not extensively tested) that can generate "tied interfaces" along edges of meshes to link nodes. Try dragging and dropping this string below onto the gh canvas.
{4661c381-1c36-4099-90f2-0d5cf0d30db3}
The trouble with rhino meshing is that polysurface edges can only have two adjacent faces, so getting coincident nodes along shared "edges" of surfaces is near impossible.
I do have some routines for "meshing" surfaces with simple geometry (ie 3 or 4 edged faces). This takes a distance setting and forces vertex spacing to respect this along edges, so tied interfaces wouldn't be necessary. If this is of interest, I'll see if I can provide it (or have done so) for the plugin. Let me know deadline/time frames you have for using this.
Look forward to hearing from you,
Jon…
