Getting started with Nexorades, Reciprocal, Zollinger and others

[Petras1 (Petras Vestartas)]

Hi @Feng_Ye ,

At the current moment there are:
a) compiled components for reciprocal structures
b) for zollinger there is c#, I kept it like this because had before a working projects that I needed always to peek at the source code. So it stays like this for now.

Hi Petras, i had the same problem… I am using Rhino7 and tried to give directory to the folder with the files, however after doing that i got this error message that the archive is corrupt. Do u know what i might have done wrong ?

Hello Petras
Can the inclination of the modules be changed? The relationship of the vertices is supposed to always go in one direction, but in the row the direction is opposite, creating two connections in opposite directions that in turn They sometimes cause small and large triangles in the grid.

Hi Petras,

Attached is my rhino and grasshopper files. I’m unsure why it is not working or generating a zollinger as others have had success with. A lot of the grasshopper components have the word “old” on them. Is there an updated version of these?

This is an image you had, which is what I’m aiming for.
If you could please help it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Jake_Blasko

This is what I use atm. Should work well on various types of polygons.
The BFS part also gives you a build sequence, which is handy. Use the Split List at the end to view..

@Petras1 I’m curious whether Nexorade connections can also be realized in steel construction — particularly in Reciprocal Steel Shells using RHS or CHS hollow sections.

Are there any built examples or specific structural considerations when designing such steel-based assemblies?

[Petras_Vestartas]

There are many, mainly due to existing scaffolding joint.

This one is cool considering the bending moments, which the key problem of nexorades:
