Hi everyone,
I have a Brep that I’m putting in a particular position, thanks to three number sliders that I can choose (trim, heel and enfoncement). This position gives me a Volume.
My goal is to always obtain the same volume (for example 5e+10) by choosing Trim and Heel, but I want Grasshopper to give me the required enfoncement.
I’ve tried to do a While Loop with the Python Script, but I’m struggling to do so.
Does someone have an idea maybe ?
Thanks a lot,
Juliette
Hello
you could use an Evolutionary tool like Galapagos in Grasshopper.
But now there are also others tools Opossum Goat …

Thanks for your answer. That’s very helpful!
However, it seems like I can only minimize or maximize the value, not reach a chosen value.
Any idea on how to do so ?
Best regards
You can do the both, this is just classical Math you have to measure a distance (always positive) and not a difference (positive or negative)
So the goal must be
Abs(Goal Volume - Measured Volume)
And you need to minimize it.
If you can read C# (NOTE: there’s NO auto conversion to P) I could provide an entry level take on that matter (using a classic bounce solver approach) that does what you want.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Now, I would like to give an excel file as input parameters. Thus, I would have multiple objectives.
I think that’s quite hard but do you think this would be possible to do ?
(Sorry, I’m new to grasshopper so quite struggling with everything !)
Have a good day
Juliette
