Last working version of non-Matrix based formulation of horizontal nodal #4

Closed tkmmark closed 5 years ago

tkmmark commented 5 years ago

Do we still have the non-elegant non-array/matrix non-Num/Scipy loopy version of horizontal modal somewhere? This will remove one xfunc call in the Grasshopper wrapper and save a couple of seconds per solve.

tomvanmele commented 5 years ago

not sure, but it would be a good idea to not use XFunc at all and use the newer RPC functionality...

tkmmark commented 5 years ago

Sorry, what is RPC?

tomvanmele commented 5 years ago

compas.rpc is the improved version of XFunc. should be available in the latest version of the framework...

tomvanmele commented 5 years ago

RPC stands for "Remote Procedure Calls"

tkmmark commented 5 years ago

@GeneKao Gene also mentioned this today. But he also doesn't know how it is implemented. Is there an example that we can look at?

tomvanmele commented 5 years ago

all of compas_tna has been rewritten to use RPC. therefore, there should be plenty of examples available...
