The advantage of using a tool like Grasshopper is that we can automate most if not all of the simulation process. Using techniques similar to those we used for exploring the panel geometry of the Cleveland Medical Mart, we were able to get the definition to iterate through each analysis on its own so that we could set it to run overnight.Ī challenge that came out of this process was creating all of the annotations for each iteration. Normally, we would do this manually in something like InDesign if we only had a handful of simulations to run. In the above animation there were over 40 simulations which would’ve meant a lot of bookkeeping and data entry. To get around this we collected text from various parts of the Grasshopper definition and then displayed that text in the viewport using our analysis key definition. Initially, we were baking all of the geometry and text into Rhino and then rendering it, but later realized it was much faster to use the ViewCaptureToFile command.
