Calculate

The following section will show you how to run an analysis or perform design calculations.

You can download the Grasshopper definition used in this tutorial from here 👉Grasshopper Definition

note

The following methodology should be use if you want to run optimisation routines or if you do not mind in having a freezed Grasshopper during the calculation.

Otherwise, have a look at FEM-Design Connection live link for Grasshopper!
