Koala is a Grasshopper component to connect Grasshopper with SCIA Engineer for parametric/generative design.
It takes Grasshopper geometry and produces a SCIA Engineer XML with the corresponding data.
- Straight segments, circle arcs, lines and polylines with beam rotations and layers
- Flat or curved and circular surfaces
- Complex plane surfaces, including complex openings
- Hinges
- Node supports, edge supports
- Line loads, free loads on surfaces
- Mesh size definition
- Batch-mode: ability to run an analysis and get results through "esa_xml.exe"
- And more…
