LevelOpt - New topology optimization tool for Rhino and Grasshopper

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 allows users 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, model simplifications, filtering, or postprocessing with LevelOpt and Intact.Simulation for Rhino Grasshopper!

Features

• Optimization for Compliance: Maximize stiffness for a specified weight target.
• Supports Both Isotropic and Orthotropic Materials.
• Component-Level Flexibility: Optimize individual components or maintain interface connectivity in assemblies.
• Functional Region Preservation: Ensure critical zones remain intact during optimization.
• Custom Optimization:
• Interjecting design changes
• Incorporating starting designs and fine-tuning settings at any stage
• Freedom to adaptively adjust feature sizes, wall thicknesses, and preserved functional regions as optimization progresses

Adaptive Parts Environment, new Grasshopper plugin

Like dynamic blocks … just better

Even without Grasshopper knowledge, everyone should be able to access Grasshopper’s parametric power. Therefore, Rhenso GmbH has developed Adaptive Parts for Rhino 3D—objects with dynamic geometry and properties—that everyone can easily manipulate with a user-friendly UI.

The users know best which tools they need, and most off-the-shelf CAD software does not provide them. So, this plugin intends to enable everybody to design their own tools for improving workflows that fit their needs best.

Adaptive parts are similar to dynamic blocks but way more powerful. They can be almost anything you can imagine and build with Grasshopper.

To use an Adaptive Part, Grasshopper knowledge is not required. To create one, it is.

Adaptive Parts are created in Grasshopper and wrap design and process knowledge into closed and shareable bits. They can be shared with your team members, only exposing the relevant parameters without exposing the (sometimes confusing) Grasshopper canvas.

"The Adaptive Parts Environment Plug-In is currently Work-In-Progress (WIP) and being actively developed. We are currently adding new features and integrating user feedback with every WIP release. Our plan is to be feature complete and stable for a commercial lease in late 2022."

Optimus/Grasshopper interface (by Noesis Solutions)

Optimus is the industry-leading Process Integration and Design Optimization (PIDO) software platform, bundling a powerful range of capabilities for Engineering Process Integration, Design Space Exploration, Engineering Optimization, and Robustness & Reliability. These PIDO technologies help direct engineering simulations toward design candidates that outsmart competition while considering all relevant design constraints—effectively implementing an Objectives Driven Engineering process. Optimus users report design time savings averaging over 30% while achieving 10% or more design performance improvements.

The Grasshopper interface automates using Grasshopper as a component of an Optimus workflow. It allows users to access all Grasshopper-defined design parameters (*.ghx file) and the parameters of the simulation setup and submit the updated files to Rhinoceros.

Optimus automatically modifies the Grasshopper design parameters and generates and updates the underlying Grasshopper files to be used in a multi-disciplinary DOE, optimization, or robust design workflow.
