The script presents the application of the Model Compare component based on a truss geometry and the representation of the comparison results of the beams using primarily the dynamic Deconstruct components of Pangolin together with the visualization tools provided by Grasshopper. The main purp...
The script generates a multispan frame structure according to the parameters: height, span, bay, purlin division. It connects the purlins with the main beams with link elements. The structural members are categorized in structural groups. A surface load is also assigned to the structure. The m...
According to a main model which is considered as a structural model prepared in a traditional way and contains predefined main beams, load combinations etc. the script can deconstruct the main model and generates purlins based on it. The purlins are analyzed in a separate secondary model then eva...
The beginner users can efficiently use the script for model generation and optimization purposes, to get a sneak peek in structural parametric design. The advanced users can step by step explore its actual functioning and understand how the Grasshopper data structuring is solved, thanks to the de...
According to eave height, truss span, roof slopes, rafter height and an approximate purlin spacing the script generates a truss on two columns using cross sections from the section bank, with node loads acting on it. The script is capable to generate more than 100 configuration for a specific spa...
According to truss span, divison and height the script generates a simple truss using cross sections from the section bank, with node loads acting on it.

This script creates a haunched frame. The frame dimensions, haunch sizes, sections and load intensity are changeable initial parameters. Line loads are applied to the rafters of the frame. A load combination is also created with the applied load. Analysis and design can be run right away, after s...
This script creates a continuous beam with multiple spans. The number and length of spans, load intensities and section parameters are changeable initial parameters. Line loads are applied to the beam. A load combination is also created with the applied load. Analysis and design can be run right ...
This script creates a simple cantilever beam. There is a fixed support on one end, and a single point load on the other. The cantilever length, section parameters and the load intensity are changeable initial parameters. A load combination is also created with the applied load. Analysis and desig...
