The performance improvement of competitive three-dimensional puzzles has greatly contributed to shortening solving times. Through analysis using the dynamic explicit method, we delve into the secrets of their smooth rotation.

This article presents an example of a design flow using an in-house design environment, with one specific design case study.

Is everyone using ChatGPT? Various uses and updates are making the rounds on the Internet on a regular basis, but you may not think that Rhino and Grasshopper have much to do with it. There are already plug-ins available that use ChatGPT to control Rhino and GH, though not necessarily in a stable manner. If you check how it works with your familiar software, you will feel more familiar with ChatGPT. Let's check the implementation of existing plug-ins and see how they work.

This article introduces Tunny, Optuna's 3D CAD wrapper. We will start with an introduction of Rhinoceros, a 3D CAD software on which Tunny runs. Then, I will provide a brief overview of how I implemented Tunny. Finally, I will walk you through some design examples using Tunny, including crash safety design of a car front bumper in connection with CAE, and Human-in-the-loop optimization of vase shapes and architectural column placement.

As an example of integrating multiple components using compliant mechanisms, we will introduce the design of a folding hanger.

Karamba3d is a structural analysis plug-in that runs on top of 3D CAD Rhinoceros Grasshopper. Karamba3d is not a well-known commercial CAE like Ansys, so I am curious about its performance, However, as there is not much information on this, this article will check it on a simple model.

Our company develops various products utilizing shape processing, function calculation, and design technologies. In this article, we explain Implicit Function Modeling, one of the means of modeling geometry.

We continue to build our in-house software environment to advance our unique structural design. The components of the software environment are diverse, but one of them is the freely extensible geometry processing-numerical analysis environment, and we are extensively using Rhinoceros, a 3D CAD system, and its plug-in, Grasshopper, in an extended manner. In this article, I hope to write mainly about the important but rarely mentioned aspects of developing and using Grasshopper plug-ins. As someone who got hooked on Rhino+Grasshopper as a student and has been doing this kind of work ever since, I hope I can help a lot of people get started.

We continue to build our in-house software environment to advance our own structural design. The components of the software environment include a wide range of commercial software and in-house FEM solvers, etc. One of these is Rhinoceros, a 3D CAD system, and its plug-in Grasshopper, which we have extended and widely We are using Rhinoceros 3D CAD and its plug-in Grasshopper extensively. There are various excellent tutorials, videos, blogs, etc., including official ones, so please refer to them for the basics. I hope to write mainly about important but rarely mentioned aspects of Grasshopper in order to extend and use Grasshopper by yourself. Those who are interested in Rhinoceros+Grasshopper 2. those who want to deepen their understanding of the internal processing of Rhinoceros+Grasshopper 3. those who want to extend Rhinoceros+Grasshopper for their own work, research, hobby, etc. 4. those who want to design and play with metamaterials.
