Termite Swarming Structure

Using Panagiotis' millipede grasshopper plug-in to generate load density mesh for attractors of the termites(fishes).
Principle of movement: Termite eat out blue part of the mesh(less load baring)without touching the red part.

Trajectories are generated and one component is there re-evaluate the previous mesh afterwards.
Optimization are available by implementing galapagos trying to make the termite as efficiency as possible.....

Comment by Apostolis Tsiamis on December 7, 2013 at 8:50am: Hey Suqi, great work, thanks for sharing!

One question though cause it's really weird: the "3d mesh results" component i get is missing the third input - the one where you toggle the color on/off. The whole def is working great but i can't see the color visualisation on the slabs. Any ideas why this is happening?
