Guanaco

A Grasshopper plugin linking Rhino with Gmsh mesher and Calculix FE package, developed by Tentech. The current implementation covers 1D & 2D elements (bars, panels) under structural loads.

Prerequisites

The plugin has been built with following versions of third party software:

• Rhino 5
• Grasshopper 0.9.76
• Calculix 2.14 (most/all functionalities should work with the versioh one available on the official website)
• Gmsh 3.01

Compilation

The code has been built with Visual Studio 2015 using .NET4.5 framework. It should compile once the Grasshopper-related references are sorted out. It is recommeneded to change the post-build actions in the properties to copy the libraries directly into relevant Grasshopper libraries folder.
