FEA for voronoi

[DanielPiker]

Yes - If you have your stress values as mesh vertex colours, you can plug it into the ImageCircles component in Kangaroo to generate a point distribution, then take the Voronoi of that. See here for some similar discussions:

Image-based Circle Packing within a polygonal limit

If you want the radii of the circles to update as they move around the image, you’ll need a different goal. Luckily there is now a component to do exactly this, including the option to prescribe a tangent boundary: https://github.com/Dan-Piker/Kangaroo-examples/blob/master/collisions_and_packing/Image_circlepacking.gh [image] You can see also some further discussion about variations on this for if you want a compact circle packing where each gap …

Variable mesh based off a picture?

Here a script It takes as input an image (greyscale), scale it to the good height Then you have to draw a curve representing the outside of the sole Choose the min/max radius and number of points Choose how to divide the outline (here with max radius) Then click on damn when you are OK [image] packing shoes.gh (927.9 KB) packing shoes.gh (927.9 KB) it is also possible to use dual mesh (there many plugins) This is done with mine [image]
