Circular/spiral pattern help

[bindber (Bernhard Binder)]

Hey guys,

I’m fairly new to rhino and gh, i’m mostly used to SolidWorks. But atm I need to design some patterns similar to the posted image. I don’t care if the circles are actual circles or ovals.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Show us how to do that in SolidWorks?

I don’t think it’s possible in solidworks to generate this kind of design, that’s why I tried to use rhino and grasshopper. The attached image is the closest I got with gh, but I guess I need the right mathematical terms which are used to create the original pattern.

When I look at the first image I see the circles arranged in straight lines, and then the lines are rotated around points spaced out along what could be an arc. If that is the case then it should be fairly straight forward to generate 1 set of circles, no?

I could imagine doing it with a surface underneath. There are certainly many ways to do this; perhaps this is one of them:
