Millipede What it does? - It’s a extra component on grasshopper that manipulates the tensile stresses, tests various materials/dimensions while adding stress to it (thus it allows us to “visualise” what it’ll look like in a real life situation if it was constructed” - it ultimately enabled an idea of how our final structural form will be (as the force of the wind will affect the form itself, the pulling of the strings that are attached to the frames etc) - we were able to try various materials/dimensions and see if they’d deflect with Millipede - we also connected the average wind velocity (that we found.. LOL) to the components - until everything reaches an equilibrium with no deflection, we used this as our final form Adding Galapagos - adding this component to the deflection panel + the sliders connected to the materials gives a “solver” - when this component runs, it gives the best solution to minimise deflection
