GH+DIVA+GECO+GALAPAGOS

An exercise for Simply Rhino's GH Level 2 Workshop: A roof that receives as little yearly solar radiation as possible (GECO with Ecotect) with as much internal shade in summer and as much internal daylight in winter (DIVA+Radiance). Results found in the Galapagos solver.

    Did you manage a way to have multiple fitness conditions at once or did you run each condition separately (solar radiation for shape and then opening size for day-lighting)?

    Hi John,

    You can only plug one number in Galapagos but this number can be linked to several fitnesses. To do that you need to come up with a function that uses several fitnesses and outputs one number.

    Example: If I want to maximize A and Minimize B, my function to maximize would be A-B. This will make A as high as possible and B as small as possible (the result of 100000-0.00001 is bigger that 10-5). This operation can be multiplied for as many fitnesses as you want.

    I hope this helps,

    Arthur

    Arthur,

    I was thinking of attempting this in a similar way, but your way makes much more sense.

    This helps.

    Thanks,

    John
