GRASSHOPPER TUTORIAL 02 PERFORATED CURVATURE www.exlab.orgIDEA PERFORATED CURVATURE ‘THIS TUTORIAL EXTENDS UPON TUTORIAL 01 BY CREATING ASIMPLE DEFINITION THAT ANALYSES THE CURVATURE OF ‘A DOUBLY CURVED SURFACE AND INDICATES HOW THIS. ‘COULD BE FURTHER EXTENDED TO MANIPULATE MATERIAL ‘QUALITIES TO ACHIEVE COMPLEX DOUBLE CURVATURE FROM PERFORATIONS IN A FLAT SHEET. FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THE FURTHER EXTENSION OF THIS DEFINITION IS PROVIDED AT THE END OF THE TUTORIAL GH TUTORIAL - 02 PERFORATED CURVATURE DAVID LISTER, JAS JOHNSTON - 28082011EXERCISE CREATE A DOUBLY CURVED SURFACE IN RHINO THAT WILL BE ANALYSED BY THE GRASSHOPPER DEFINITION. [REFERENCE THIS SURFACE FROM RHINO INTO GRASSHOPPER USING THE SURFACE COMPONENT. RIGHT CLICK ON THE COMPONENT AND SELECT “"SET ONE SURFACE” (PARAMS/GEOMETRY/SURFACE) TO EVALUATE CURVES ONTO THE SURFACE POINTS [MUST BE DEFINED ACROSS THE SURFACE. THIS IS ACHIEVED BY DIVIDING THE SURFACE INTO UV TOPOLOGICAL CO-ORDINATES USING THE DIVIDE ‘SURFACE COMPONENT. (SURFACE/UTILITY/SDIVIDE) SURFACES ARE DEFINED BY TWO DIRECTIONS IN PARAMETRIC SPACE, REFERRED TO AS U AND V DIRECTIONS. THE DOMAIN OF EACH OF THESE DIRECTIONS ARE DIVIDED BY THIS COMPONENT, RETURNING POINTS AND U,V PARAMETERS (OF THE DIVISION POINTS, AND THE VECTOR NORMALS AT THESE POINTS. SPECIFY THE NUMBER OF DIVISIONS IN EACH (OF THE U-DIRECTION AND V-DIRECTION USING NUMBER SLIDERS. (PARAMS/SPECIAL/NUMBER SLIDER) THE NUMERIC DOMAIN (THE MINIMUM, MAXIMUM AND RANGE) OF THE SLIDER AND THE TYPE OF NUMBER ROUNDING CAN BE ALTERED BY RIGHT CLICKING ON THE SLIDER AND SELECTING corr. WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A PERFORATION AT EACH OF THESE DIVISION POINTS INITIALLY BY CREATING A CIRCLE USING THE DIVISION POINTS ‘AND NORMAL VECTOR AT THAT POINT.
