We're using the Karamba plugin for Grasshopper to analyse our models during the course. There is an example Karamba file here.

If you want to have a look at some of the other example files I showed there are here.…

Learning to use grasshopper generally requires a brief introduction and then its up to you to experiment and adapt example files that are shared.

I made this example file use Galapagos to arrange columns for two cases:

1. To make each column support a similar area (working equally hard).

2. To arrange the beams to make them a similar length (to avoid cutting material).

Tell me what you think

We'll be introducing you to grasshopper and some of the technical tools.

1. Here is a simple file drawing lines and surfaces to use Grasshopper to look at different frame options: TS Grasshopper Example Frame 2. Here is a…

Its that time of year again, where I upload my simplified arrangement of grasshopper so you can start to model your case studies.

You can download it here.AA ETS2 2019-20 1.4 FEA with Rhino, Grasshopper and Karamba (CTM)

This works with the free version of Karamba and Rhino 6.

We've continued using Karamba in our TS2 course.

We've covered it earlier so students can use it earlier in their projects and as they work through the different structural typologies.

I've created a simple file with the Karamba plugins all set out, which they only have to edit here: …

We've been teaching the students to use Karamba to model structural behaviour and work out which elements are in tension and compression.

I created a simple Karamba example file to show how to analysis simple trusses and which they can then modify to analyse their own structures.…

Thank you to Mule and The Engineering Club who organised "Opening the Black Box - One Year On".

It was wonderful to see so many people from so many different companies comparing how they've been using Grasshopper…
