Happy new year and thanks for a great decade, friends and colleagues. To wrap up the 2010s, I’d like to share this V-Ray rendering of a Grasshopper script I made back in school, probably around 2011. If I only knew what a ride the following 9 years would be! I graduated after 6 years of studies, moved back and forth to the UK and US … Continue reading happy new year and thanks for a great decade
Great open source sample project by the awesome Margaret Wang of how to combine rhino.compute, three.js, vue.js, node.js, express.js, mongodb to create a fully functioning web application: https://github.com/mm-wang/WebApplicationWorkshop the sample app was originally developed in the context of the #AECTechSeattle2019 workshop hosted by CORE studio at Thornton Tomasetti Continue reading rhino compute / threejs open source sample web application
Thanks Emil Adiels for inviting me to co-organize this awesome weaving workshop together with yourself, Chris Williams, Alison Martin, Robin Oval, Isak Näslund, Sofia Malmsten and Daniel Jonsson. Happy to assist on the tech side plus I learnt a lot of new cool things about geometry and weaving. Who knew that stiff gridshells can be achieved with literally no mechanical fasteners? Also big congrats to … Continue reading snapshot from weaving workshop at chalmers
One of few successful attempts to simulate biaxial relaxation of prebent laths with scissor joints in Emu. Earlier this week we ran a workshop at Chalmers University with the theme #Weaving. More info soon. Continue reading biaxial relaxation of pre-bent laths with scissor joints in Emu

Friday fun in the office with oculus rift, leap motion and glowing building blocks! Continue reading oculus + leap + blocks
Just created a reference document over all the components available in Emu. Hopefully useful to provide a more comprehensive overview of the plugin: https://github.com/EmilPoulsen/Emu.Resources/tree/master/reference On a side note – this reference document wasn’t created manually as you can probably guess. I’ve been working on a little hack to automatically pull contents out of .gha files. I may open source the tool some day soon, as … Continue reading component reference document for Emu
Just rolled out Emu 1.1.0 with improved mesh visualization. Get it from here: https://emilpoulsen.com/emu In this version, there is a new component called “Results On Mesh Viz”, which allows you to visualize structural quantities on top of beam mesh extrusions as color gradients. Enjoy! Continue reading emu 1.1.0 release
Recently, I’ve been interested in the architecture of CAD/BIM/FEA systems capable of dynamically loading external assemblies to allow for third-party plugin development. Found this great article by @RickStrahl explaining how this can be done with just a few lines of code: https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2016/Dec/12/Loading-NET-Assemblies-out-of-Seperate-Folders Recommended reading for anyone who’s interested in the mechanics of C# plugin development. The comments are of interest too, where another system called … Continue reading dynamically loading external assemblies
Kicking off 2019 with a little announcement: I’ve made a public release of the Grasshopper plugin I built for my master’s thesis. The tool is called Emu: Emu is an interactive structural analysis and form-finding tool based on a 6DOF (6 degrees of freedom) formulation of the dynamic relaxation method allowing engineers and designers to run non-linear bi-axial bending and torsion simulations in the parametric … Continue reading emu is now available on food4rhino!
