New Force Density Solver in Emu 1.3

Grasshopper Emu
1

Hey gang!
Just rolled out a new version of Emu which includes a Force Density solver :rocket:

Force Density is an optimization technique that simplifies e.g. cable network design by assuming constant force-to-length ratios.

Demo

The recording below shows the solver in action while alternating vertical loads and force densities of the members.

Feedback

If you have any experience with Force Density in engineering projects, Iā€™d be very interested in learning more. I can imagine the components and logic included in this release can be improved :bug:

Emu 1.3 is available through the Rhino Package Manager and Food4Rhino.
