Free Grasshopper File: Kangaroo2 Gridshell Relaxation (Daniel Piker)
Original title: Kangaroo-examples: british_museum.gh (grid relaxation / mesh optimization)
Overview
british_museum.gh is an official Kangaroo2 example by Daniel Piker from the grids_and_mesh_optimization folder of his Kangaroo-examples GitHub repository; no Rhino version is stated. It relaxes a British Museum Great Court style gridshell mesh with Kangaroo2 goals (edge length equalization and smoothing) to obtain an even structural grid, and it sits alongside Planar_quads.gh, Circular_mesh.gh and Tangent_incircles.gh examples for planar quad panelization.
The .gh files are free direct downloads from GitHub and require Kangaroo2. A key reference for gridshell optimization and mesh relaxation in Grasshopper.
