Hi,
I have a large grasshopper model, basically a steel shell. Due to the modelling approach, some surfaces are intersecting each other when exported in RFEM6. Therefore, every time I generate a model, I need to select all surfaces and click on connect before I can run a calculation. After I do this process, everything is smooth.
Is there any way to do the connection of the surfaces in grasshopper? If not, would it be possible to implement it in the near future?
Thank you
Hi _lobo,
There is no option to connect the surfaces at intersections directly in GH yet.
I am not sure if I understood your modelling approach correctly.
Do you have an example file to comprehend it better? Maybe a workaround is possible.
Best regards

Hi @paul.sivolgin,
Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, I cannot share the script due to company policies. However, when building up a shell model and extruding lines into surfaces, it can be that you end up with intersecting surfaces. And this model won't run on RFEM without connecting all the surfaces first. Of course, I can work on the script to avoid this, but it would simply take too much effort for something that is not that bothersome. I was just wondering if there is a way to spare this click :)
