Zebra is a C# grasshopper plugin, developed by YFA team when a need came for an agent based design plugin that can do the following:

• Optimized plugin to flock at least 100 agents with no performance issues
• Combining behaviours with each dynamically and in the same simulation
• Very simple interface that can do everything while keeping a high level of controllability for any parameter.
• Working in conjunction with environmental design.
• Can contain agents in any brep or mesh form.

The plugin is developed by Youssef Aboualghar under the supervision of Yusuf Fahmy Within YFA.

The plugin contains: 

• Agent Based: Engine, Properties, Agents, Containers, Behaviours.
• Ratio rectangle: created a retangle with width to height ratio and scales them to a specified area.
• Topology & Geometry Hierarchy: components determine topology for lines and vertices and Brep explode while keeping object hierarchy and surface, edges sorted in their correct order.
• Mesh Forming: makes mesh interact with agents by moving its vertices aways from the way of the agents.
• Surface To Mesh: contains components to make mesh from surface in different cases.
• Utilities: contains a data recorder that can be reset and a component to partition trees.

Based on Craig Reynolds methods and Long Nguyen base flock behaviour.
