Minimal Surface
Minimal Surface Creator by Cerver is a grasshopper plugin that generates minimal surfaces from boundary curves or do a minimal relaxation on a mesh.
Star Mesh
In this grasshopper definition, you can model an organic mesh by using the Mesh+ Plugin and Weaverbird.
Structural Detailing
In this grasshopper definition, you can model a parametric structure by defining an arc-like curve. Then you can Extract the details and use them for fabrication.
Smart Passive Building
This research by Tessa Rouwenhorst is aiming to extend the period in which the passive systems are used within the building management system in order to minimize the energy consumption while improving the comfort conditions.
Metaball Desk Organizer
In this premium python definition you can create a desk organizer using metaballs.
Voxelized Metalines
In this grasshopper definition by Mathias Bernhard, you can create an iso-surface from the intersection between a sphere and Metaballs and use the Axolotl plugin to convert them into a voxelized form.
Rooster
Rooster by forest hell is a plugin useful for extracting curves from images; a process commonly known as Vectorization of an image. The Rooster component is present under the ‘Params’ tab in the ‘Utils’ sub-category.
Kinetic Sleeve
In this grasshopper definition you can create Parametric sleeves by morphing a single module to a series of twisted box from the pufferfish plugin.
Thermal Compositions
This work by Isak Worre Foged and Mads Brath Jensen develops, implements and tests a method and model for the distribution of material in relation to thermal performances through robot based extrusion of concrete.
Hexagonal Division
In this grasshopper definition, you can divide a NURBS surface into hexagons and then extrude them by using the Ngon plugin.
Adaptive Facades
The presented research by Helena Luísa Freitas Martinho aims to develop a unified AD and analysis workflow for the energy performance assessment of adaptive façades.
Adaptive Robot Control
In this research by Shani Sharif, Varun Agrawal and Larry Sweet, authors present a system to allow designers to adaptively control an industrial robot from within a 3D modeling environment, for the purpose of real time feedback.
Differential Growth
In this grasshopper definition you can simulate differential growth, by using the SDplatform plug-in .
Cubical Voxelized Growth
In this grasshopper definition, you can generate a cubical growth system by using the Anemone plugin and voxelizing it with Dendro.
Fusion Mesh
In this Grasshopper Definition, you can model an iso-surface mesh by using the Ngon plugin.
Design of Footbridges
The thesis by Herman Enger Aas and Kristian Mathias Eick uses parametric design software tools to investigate relevant structural aspects to be used for development of a conceptual design phase of a footbridge.
Material Geometry
This paper by Alireza Borhani and Negar Kalantar is part of a body of research developing an exploratory dialogue between the built form and the environment, via experimentation with performative geometry and material.
Rationalized Mesh
By using this grasshopper definition you can divide a surface into a rational mesh using the Ngon plugin.
Kangaroo Mesh Expansion
In this grasshopper definition we have used the kangaroo 2 Plugin combined with weaverbird to deform a mesh parametrically.
Mesh Mirror Cut
Mesh Mirror Cut a plugin by Michael Pryor which now is a part of Pufferfish, is inspired by Autodesk Maya’s Mirror Cut tool, which is great for creating symmetry.
Transformable Structures
The main aim of this thesis by Sam Bouten is to provide insight in the design of transformable structures on an architectural scale.
Net on Surface
By using this grasshopper definition you can create a series of net curves on a surface by using the Pufferfish plugin.
GRay
GRay by Friedrich Söllner is a Parametric Material Generator for the Rhino Render Plugin V-Ray, with a flexible and easy to use interface for single renderings as well as animation.
Basic Agent Base
In this premium python grasshopper definition you can simulate a basic agent behavior through defining an agent class in python component. Then you can define actions by writing functions inside the agent class.
Infinite Coil
In this grasshopper definition by creating a series of circles in the X direction and connecting them together from the quarter of each circle, you can create a coil shape pipe.
Genetic Programming
This paper by John Harding investigates an interactive evolution of visual programs currently used in popular parametric modelling software.
Entwined Rectangle
In this grasshopper definition by creating a loop you can generate a series of rectangles that are connected to each other by lines and twist them around an axis.
Flocking Motion
In this grasshopper definition a simple flocking motion has been simulated by using the SDplatform plugin and by defining parametric forces.
Animation
Animation is a lightweight plug-in by dbddqy that helps designers to make better animations with less effort.
IT Driven Architecture
This paper by Sebastian Białkowski and Anetta Kępczyńska-Walczak discusses teaching parametric design as a supportive method of introducing design logic. Two case studies have been described, analysed and concluded.
