Bending active Structure

[Felix_Berger]

That does sounds very interesting. Had a workshop about Combinatorial Equilibrium Models where SOM was being used for clustering, hope when doing my masters I can finally learn how to actually apply SOM and all that fancy stuff. But for this thesis im not really sure what to apply from the Lace wall..

@AndersDeleuran

I’m not quite sure I follow

I have this given curve that I want to use as my final shape.

@Felix_Berger

Running Galapagos that curve was a neat outcome fitting my fitness criteria. And in order to exactly have that curve as a bending-active model, i needed to get the final form as an output from the Solver, thats what I meant with “reverse-engineer” if that makes sense.

Its all very messy as I have to teach me all by myself, I don’t have any professional expertise at my university haha but for now it worked like 80% similarity recreating the curve as a bending-active model

Merry Christmas back

Edit: Would you mind sharing the script for the lace wall? Really curious how you made that pipeline feeding it into Galapagos

Do you mean how to get the bent polyline, like from which component/parameter on the canvas? The AssemblyGeo parameters interfacing stages throughout the pipeline assumes a DataTree with these paths:

So you could do something like this at any point after the solver:

Here’s the file with the Rhino Feed stage included (and the Rhino file):

251229_FAHS_InteractiveModellingPipeline_Minimal_00.3dm (35.9 KB)

Note that I’ve added an anchor on one of the cables, just to demonstrate.

Hey, I really appreciate your effort! No no the file works perfectly and I came to understand the pipeline quite well

I just worked on my own model and had a certain curve that was my wanted pipeline output, not to use an input, as this would further bend and deform the curve after it runs through the pipeline. And it works that much that I’m satisfied with the achieved output! Hope this cleared a little

You are very patient teacher although the misunderstanding haha I can only appreciate that
