Acoustic simulations

Could acoustic simulations be a cool thing to have in grasshopper, maybe a part of Ladybug/Honeybee? I think so!

I have tried Pachyderm (http://www.food4rhino.com/project/pachyderm?etx) but it could be nice if it were in the same workflow of HB energy/daylight simulations. So it was possible to have a even more holistic analysis of a design.....

Hi Daniel, I have a draft email (now probably for months) to send to Arthur and ask him if he is interested in some sort of collaboration but I haven't sent it out, waiting for a time that I feel confident that I can follow up with him on a timely manner. Do you know him? and have you talked to him about this? Maybe you have to push us to start the conversation.

Hi,

I have talked with him last august/September. There is a GH version, that I got, but I have never had the time to try it out more deeply. I did not talked with him about the idea of having it as a part of LB/HB. But I think it would be obvious if it were. Mainly it is only about applying other kind of material properties than for DL and Energy sim.

Send the email ;)

Hello. Sounds good. Thanks. We can also write a converter to Pachyderm if he wants to keep the plugin under the current name in a separate tab.

*Surprise - it's a small world!!*

I think there is a good opportunity here. We should speak some more. The difficulty is that right now Pachyderm is changing a lot, but I hope to have things nailed down soon. As Daniel mentioned above, I have begun a PachydermGH plugin which will also be open-source, and maybe, if your project can support a GPL license, we can integrate the two together...

The grasshopper plugin works well, but there are some things about running acoustics simulations in grasshopper which so far seem clumsy, and which I am not yet satisfied with.

I could definitely use some help from a more experienced grasshopper than myself for these things... I hope that I hear from you.

Hahaha. Well done! It's indeed a small world and it is (almost) a sphere so there are so many possibilities to connect two points with a straight line. :)

Let's talk! We can figure out the license part I think. I've already planned a couple of calls for this weekend but I assume we can still find a spot for this one. I will follow up the conversation by email and will include Daniel.

Hi there !

it's Oscar, actively working with acoustics in GH. I have developed several patches that are used in my daily work in room acoustics. These patches could be somehow integrated in the this project, but lets discuss first!

I can let you know my email adresse by message if you are interested.

Hi Oscar! Sure... Please message me your email address.
