Creating a Project from IOM
Opens an IOM project, creates a connection from it, calculates it, and saves the project.
Download Example 01Parameter Sweep on a Connection Using Colibri
Opens a project and runs a parameter sweep on selected parameters using Colibri, writing the results to a CSV file.
Download Example 02Applying a Template and Iterating a Parameter Using Anemone
Applies a parametric template to an empty connection and iterates a parameter until the design check passes.
Download Example 03Importing Geometry from Rhino and Creating a Connection Using IOM
Loads plate geometry and member axes from Rhino, trims the geometry using IOM, and creates a connection.
Download Example 04Cost Estimation for Various Connection Configurations
A connection with an applied parametric template is iterated over selected parameters using Colibri, and the estimated cost is recorded for each iteration. A calculation step is also included, recording the maximum unity check — this is disabled by default due to longer computation time.
Download Example 05Bulk Assessment of Similar Connections
A template with configurable parameters is applied to selected nodes of an IOM model, followed by assessment and graphical visualization of the check results.
Download Example 06Propose Template from the Template Database
For a project with multiple connections, a template is selected from the database based on configured parameters. The selection is visualized graphically in Rhino. An assessment can then be performed, with results displayed graphically on the selected templates.
