Grasshopper Mesh Relaxation Component
My first release of a Grasshopper component.
A mesh relaxation component based on a force density algorithm. The component used a mesh, rather than a brep, determines it’s naked (lose) edges and relaxes the mesh nodes.
All of this woudnt be possible without the inspiration and some components from:
- Jon Mirtschin : http://geometrygym.blogspot.com / http://ssi.wikidot.com/
- Ursula Frick & Thomas Grabner: http://utos.blogspot.com
- Giulio Piacentino : http://www.giuliopiacentino.com and it’s Weaverbird component: http://www.giuliopiacentino.com/weaverbird/#more-1218
Some of the examples and scripts i have included in the package use Giulio Piacentino’s Weaverbird and uto’s mesh tools. please be sure to have them installed for the script to properly work.

Hi Ionut,
I really like the components! They certainly can come in handy. I’ll try to compare the results with other plug-ins and simulations. Maybe they still need the icons?
- Giulio
yes, i do need icons. really bad at doing icons.
i’ve been experimenting with a lot of othe plugins:
- surface evolver
- Jon Mirtschin’s mesh relaxation
- kangaroo with springs
didnt have access to RhinoMembrane tho.
And results are quite different.
- surface evolver is the most “off”
- i guess Jon Mirtschin’s does only 200 or so iterations and it’s getting close to my components results.
- and kangaroo, if you are pacient enough it will come to the same result.
i’ll try and post some examples.
