Open the Grasshopper and feel free to connect any geometry you. This functionality is particularly useful for the creation of principal stress aligned grid shells and reinforcement patterns. Grasshopper is a visual scripting language for the 3D modelling software, Rhino, which comes standard in Rhino 6. Unblock downloaded zip file and extract it. LunchBox provides simple components for performing common parametric modeling operations including surface tessellation, geometry analysis, and data workflow. In addition millipede implements a few basic geometric features and a few numerical analysis tools The new version of millipede includes the surface reparameterization module that enables the generation of vector field aligned patterns over any mesh. LunchBox is a plugin for Grasshopper a computational design platform availing in Rhinoceros 3D. All systems can be optimized using built in topology optimization methods and have their results extracted and visualized in a variety of ways. It allows for very fast linear elastic analysis of frame and shell elements in 3d, 2d plate elements for in plane forces, and 3d volumetric elements. Millipede is a structural analysis and optimization component for grasshopper.
