 Cutting-edge Level set optimization meets the flexibility of Grasshopper with FEA Simulation in the loop! LevelOpt is a topology optimization tool that allows Rhino Grasshopper users to generate high-performance concepts quickly with automated topology optimization. A User-Driven custom optimization option gives users the power to interject design changes, incorporate starting designs, and fine-tune settings at any stage. Rhino users automatically get access to LevelOpt with the latest version of Intact.Simulation for Rhino Grasshopper. There is No Preprocessing, No Model Simplifications, No Filtering, and No Postprocessing with LevelOpt and Intact.Simulation for Rhino Grasshopper! Features
 Ladybug Tools (Energy & Daylight Modelling) Online Workshop Tutor: Mateo Barbero, Adrian Krezlik 3-5 February 2025 10:00 am-5:00 pm CET (Barcelona) Hosted on Zoom by McNeel Europe Join us for a comprehensive, hands-on, three-day workshop designed to introduce participants to key topics in environmental design: energy, daylight, and thermal modeling with Ladybug and Honeybee. The workshop is hosted by Dosta Tec, an engineering and technology company specializing in sustainable buildings. This face-to-face training offers a unique opportunity for formative learning. It is led by Mateo Barbero, an experienced energy engineer, and Adrian Krezlik, an architect and PhD researcher at the University of Porto's Faculty of Architecture. After completing the workshop, you'll have valuable knowledge on energy modeling, thermal comfort, daylight, and the environmental impact of buildings with Rhino, Grasshopper, Ladybug tools, and Honeybee. Day 1On the first workshop day, fundamental concepts in architectural environmental modeling will be introduced, exploring the influence of climate change, bioclimatic design, and future climate modeling. Following this introduction, modeling tools, workflows, and best practices are presented. Participants engage in hands-on exercises, crafting their definitions, and will actively apply the concepts learned.
Day 2Participants kick off by creating a basic energy simulation for a case study. They then work closely with the tutors to augment the model, incorporating details such as program specifics and construction systems and calibrating it accordingly. Following a theoretical overview of thermal comfort, participants apply their knowledge by modeling human thermal comfort.
Day 3On the final day, participants will explore the fundamentals of daylight modeling. This module emphasizes creating definitions for essential metrics such as Daylight Factor and Daylight Availability. The objective is to compare these metrics and develop the skills to optimize building designs for improved daylight conditions.

Now, you can use it with Rhino 8 and Grasshopper with the brand-new NextFEM-Link for Grasshopper, which brings some components to export the Rhino model to NextFEM Designer and a .NXF (NextFEM format) file. In addition, some query tools are available to use quantities in the model, such as nodal coordinates and element connectivity. You can use Rhino 8 to model complex geometries and NextFEM-Link to translate them automatically into a NextFEM model, which can be seamlessly analyzed in the solver you prefer or even exported to other proprietary formats. In its first release, NextFEM-Link translates curves and meshed entities to linear and planar finite elements. Instructions on its use are available. Finally, NextFEM always listens to the needs of its users; feel free to request new functionalities using this form. |
