Workshop assignment 04 - Bounding box minimization with Galapagos
Summary
Take 3 reference models and fit them in the smallest possible box aligned to world axes. Use Galapagos, which is a revolutionary solver for Grasshopper, to find the best solution. The size of the objects is fixed (use the reference Rhino file provided through the link in the title) but you can change position and rotation for every object. Objects are not allow to overlap or nest (one object inside another). The student who finds the bounding box with the smallest volume wins a prize!
Hint: your Galapagos gene pool will have 18 sliders - 6 DOF (3 for position + 3 for rotation) x 3 objects
Optional: Run the optimization with 3 different, irregular objects of your own design. Make them differentiated enough so the optimal solution is not obvious (like in the example where the pieces fit nicely together).
