Based on the design logic, UrbanXTools could generate urban design automatically in a very short period of time, and evaluated from the view of sustainability, with the help of algorithms. While gradually bridging the gap between urban design and sustainable systems, the toolbox could improve the efficiency of design.
Design Space Exploration (DSE) is a suite of open-source Grasshopper tools developed by Digital Structures at MIT. These tools aim to support visual, performance-based design space exploration and interactive multi-objective optimization (MOO) for conceptual design.
AdaCAD is a free/open-source parametric design tool creating and arranging woven structures with a draft. While useful for all kinds of looms, it has been developed in close connection with complex weavers as well as issues for integrating functional components into textile structures
Use 2D planar plywood plate to approximate the double curve surface by using the design of kerfing. The layout and the size of kerfing directly affect the bending effect and the final geometry. The parametric algorithms have been developed to conduct the approximation process. The fabrication factors like robot arm type, cost, and fabrication time are also considered during the design process.
QGIS plugin to: 1) create geoJSON site packages that can be imported into parametric CAD software; and 2) import CAD generated site packages into QGIS.
Use this open-source sample application to parametrically design a football stadium through an integration with grasshopper, without opening the grasshopper interface at all.
