Morpho

A plugin to create Envimet 2.5D models (INX), write configuration files (SIMX), run simulation and read results.
It is based on following projects: lb_envimet, df_envimet and Envimet INX. It contains a library of classes you can use with Grasshopper, Dynamo and other softwares.

This project is partially financed by ENVI_met GmbH

Requirements

• ENVI-met 4.4.5

Installation:

1. Download Morpho.
2. Check if downloaded .zip file has been blocked: right click on it, and choose Properties. If there is an Unblock button click on it, otherwise it is OK. Unzip it.
3. Follow 'README.txt' instructions.

Dependencies:

• Morpho25.dll (for Rhino and Dynamo)
• MorphoRhino.dll (for Rhino only)
• MorphoGeometry.dll (for Rhino and Dynamo)
• MorphoReader.dll (for Rhino and Dynamo)

Software tested

• Rhino 6, Rhino 7
• Dynamo for Revit 2021

Features:

• Settings of Workspace, project and model
• Modeling of envimet entities for 2.5D INX. Such as Buildings, Plant2D and Soils
• Reading materials from system DB, project DB and user DB
• Settings of simulation file (SIMX) with more than 15 advanced settings. Both Simpleforcing and Fullforcing supported.
• Running envimet simulation
• Reading binary output files of envimet (EDT): Atmosphere, Soil, Surface, Buildings, Vegetation, SolarAccess, Radiation

Improvements

• it is possible to use class library with other softwares: only requirement is translate input geometries in Facegroup and Vector of MorphoGeometry
• integration with ShrimpGIS and Gismo
• Grid settings is based on a single point, user specify how many grid cells to use in x, y and z.
• User experiece of modeling of 3D trees. Geometries are points
• Flexible way to read EDT files

Limits v.1.0.0:

• 1D results reader and receptors reader need to be add
• It is like Monde of ENVI-met: it does not use detail 3D mode

Roadmap:

• Components for Grasshopper
• Solve geometry3sharp intersection performance issue with big meshes - MorphoGeometry! 💪:
• 5 Example files for Grasshopper
• Create DEM using directly an ASCII matrix
• Added UTM for georeference.
• Add DLL and components to read EDT EDX. Almost done.
• Add documentation string of C# library
• Release nodes for Dynamo for geometry
