As a spin-off of King-Ghidorah, I have written a NURBS-based sensitivity analysis code (original method developed by Muturo Sasaki) that optimizes the structural performance of an architectural surface by looking at the differential coefficients of the linear stiffness matrix.
The scripts do not run alone; they require Sho, a numerical library developed by Microsoft Research.
The download link is no longer working, and I attempted to contact the persons in charge, but no one has responded.
So, I decided to make the installation package available from this site.
Sho download (download from this site)
Recently, I found a still-alive link to the installer.
[Sho download](download from MS research)
There are different versions, I assume, but any of them work.
In each Grasshopper script, there is a C# component that says "Radon V1" that needs to reference those two DLLs.
Drag and Drop the two DLLs to the left box in this dialog, and you are all set! The script should work.
Example 01, optimization of hypar
Minimization of elastic energy for a hypar shell.
GH definition (requires Sho)
Example 02, optimization of bowl
Minimization of elastic energy for a hypar shell.
GH definition (requires Sho)
Example 03, optimization of complex roof
Minimization of elastic energy for a hypar shell.
GH definition (requires Sho)
