Parametric hydrofoil from a NACA profile
Parametric hydrofoil

Parametric hydrofoil from a NACA profile

The profile is generated in XFLR5 and exported to .dat; Grasshopper reads it from the path. Progressive angles of attack (initial, final, mid) and dihedral can be controlled.

Self-supporting roof with the Kangaroo solver
Form finding with Grasshopper

Self-supporting roof with the Kangaroo solver

A mesh is created with a physical solver of springs and gravity. The system's K and g can be tuned until the desired mesh is found; the design is parameterized with Grasshopper and Weaverbird.
