algorithmic modeling for Rhino

Automatically run solver and output best solution after N generations

Below is a schematic of what I want to do, namely:

Trigger a solver like Octopus or Galapagos from within a definition (not by double-clicking the component), run the solver for a fixed number of generations, then only output the best solution (I only have 1 evaluation metric)
Optionally, I would like to automatically increment an additional parameter and rerun the process for each parameter setting

Not sure how to go about this - any tips to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated!

I've done something similar, but it required serious coding in C#.

I used "reflection" to call some of the methods in Galapagos to automatically trigger it.

Thanks Thomas, I'm pretty unfamiliar with C# - is this something you are able to share?

You can use Octopus Explicit and Anemone/Hoopsnake for this I think. When I have time I can dig out an old definition.

Hi, I wanted a new casino to play from Canada without complicated steps. I joined through highflybet casino and picked Legacy of Dead for my first spin. The early rounds drained my balance quickly with no bonus symbols lining up. I increased my stake and triggered free spins with a high-paying symbol. The payout completely changed my mood.

I've long wanted to write a review of a platform that has become a benchmark for me in online entertainment. This site, 21 Bet , is the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and a customer-focused approach. If you're looking for a place to relax, play high-quality games, and be confident in the safety of your funds, then this is exactly what you need. One of the site's main advantages is its use of cryptocurrency as the primary payment method. This solves many problems faced by users of traditional gaming platforms. There are no bank blocks, no hidden fees, and complete confidentiality. Deposits are credited in seconds, and withdrawals are quick, which is a plus. The platform's interface deserves special praise. It's modern, intuitive, and very fast. All games are categorized, so finding the slot or sporting event you need is just a couple of clicks. The gaming content here is of the highest quality. The platform partners with all leading providers, offering a huge selection of slots with excellent graphics and engaging mechanics. It also features unique provably fair games, the results of which you can verify for yourself. The Live Casino section offers unforgettable experiences thanks to high-quality broadcasts and professional dealers. Sports fans can enjoy an excellent bookmaker with competitive odds. The bonus program is thoughtfully designed with players in mind. The VIP system offers real benefits, such as constant rakeback and weekly and monthly bonuses that increase as your status increases. Customer support is available 24/7, and operators are always available to resolve any issue promptly. I highly recommend this site to anyone who values quality and reliability.
