Plug-In for: 2D/3D graphics, Architecture, Interface & Analysis, Mathematics Grasshopper 0.7-0.8

flowL is a plug-in to visualize a vector field, generated trough positive and negative point charges.
The path lines are calculated with the "Runge-Kutta 4th Order Method" short "RK4", developed by the German mathematicians C. Runge and M.W. Kutta. around 1900.

included components:

in the [extra] tab:

FlowLines 2D
FlowLines 3D
FlowLines Rotation
Equipotentiallines

this plugin was created in-between our research on non-planned settlements for our master thesis on urbanization at the university of Innsbruck | tutor: patrik schumacher

To install:

In Grasshopper, choose File > Special Folders > Components folder. Save the gha file there.
Right-click the file > Properties > make sure there is no "blocked" text
Restart Rhino and Grasshopper

Sry I am new to flowL, I was wondering how its possible after you deform the curve with respect to primary shape, how to reshape it by deformed curves?

Hi everyone... I'm just starting now with GH and I apologise for the dullness of my question.
It seems I cannot create a field of vectors but just one single line between two points. How can I visualise the whole field of interactions? Is there a tutorial on the plug-in?
thanks Fabio.
