COMPAS CEM is also shipped as a precooked Grasshopper plugin to readily integrate our constrained form-finding engine into your next spaghetti pipeline □. Move those sliders with the Grasshopper plugin: Are you a Grasshopper person? Worry not.As a COMPAS extension, COMPAS CEM offers native integration and data exchange with other extensions and plugins in the COMPAS ecosystem. However, it provides the necessary interfaces to be seamlessly used inside popular design environments like Rhino, Blender, and Grasshopper. Usable across different 3D modeling software and operating systems: COMPAS CEM runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux (perhaps one day in the metaverse) and it does not depend on any CAD software to work.Solve constrained form-finding problems efficiently via automatic differentiation: Generate forms in static equilibrium that simultaneously meet a priori design constraints such as best-fitting a global target shape, restraining bar lengths, and controlling the reaction forces at the supports of a structure. ![]() ![]() Design space frames, bridges, tensegrities, and staircases and go beyond the conventional catalog of compression-only shells and cable-nets! Mix tension and compression forces: Explore a wider spectrum of structural typologies by combining internal tension and compression forces in the same structure.The CEM framework is a numerical form-finding approach to generate forms in static equilibrium for spatial bar structures subjected to combinations of tension-compression forces and design constraints.ĬOMPAS CEM encapsulates the CEM framework into an open-source structural design tool that enables the formulation and the solution of constrained form-finding problems in plain and simple Python code. The Combinatorial Equilibrium Modeling (CEM) framework for COMPAS.
