you can neglect the warning, ill try to switch it off next time.

p is an optional parameter where you feed in any gh data that you get for one solution, speaking in GA language: the phenotype (hence p). after each generation, the collection of assessed phenotypes then is given out at ps (phenotypes).

Hi Michael,

I am trying to do a similar simulation for one zone only using honeybee, but when I downloaded the Octopus pluging I don't get this solver component(assuming it is similar to galapagos).

Do you know how do I find it?Since now the component is updated..

I would be very grateful if you share the definition.It will help me as an example to correct mine.

Best,

Nita

Hi Nita,

I have the same problem, I downloaded Octopus and I am trying to use it with Honey Bee, I plug in the Genomes and the Parameters to optimize but cant find the solver or how to set it to run.

Thanks!

Hi Bianca,

In order for the solver and Pareto front to open you have to double click the component(the green one at the image above).But if you downloaded the new version, I cant help you with it.

How did you manage to connect the HB results as objectives?Do you know how to weight the different values?It will be very helpful if you share a screenshot or gh.

Thank you,

N

hi,

i am sorry but apparently i compiled the last version of octopus with a false setting, so it did not find the galapagos components as they were moved to a different folder in GH 0.9.0.76 (again).

whenever you had just gene pools connected as parameters, octopus would not open its window.

this should be fixed now, i uploaded a new release to food4rhino

It is still not working for me.

Nita, I will try to use a different method and will share the optimization process!

Did you double click on the octopus component?

Does the Rhino command window give you any messages when doing so?

Does the Rhino command window give you any messages when starting grasshopper for the first time in your rhino session?

Thank you,

Hi,

as the error message says: it is missing HelixToolkitWpf.dll in Grasshopper's Components Folder (''Libraries') - it comes with the octopus download. As said in the instructions you have to copy it there manually. It will work then
