I’m trying to run an optimization for an Origami structure in Butterfly, in order to maximize wind speed beneath it. As Mostapha Roudsari said here, it is necessary to set interval -1 in the Butterfly_Solution component to visualize only the last value, during the simulation.
With this setting, the optimization through Galapagos seems to start in a good way, but after some iterations it stops due to this error on blockMesh component:
Runtime error (ArgumentException): Environment variable name or value is too long. Traceback: line 420, in setitem, “C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 5 (64-bit)\Plug-ins\IronPython\Lib\os.py” line 80, in getShellinit, “C:\Users\mmel\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\scripts\butterfly\runmanager.py” line 69, in containerId, “C:\Users\mmel\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\scripts\butterfly\runmanager.py” line 260, in _RunManager__command, “C:\Users\mmel\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\scripts\butterfly\runmanager.py” line 316, in run, “C:\Users\mmel\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\scripts\butterfly\runmanager.py” line 716, in command, “C:\Users\mmel\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\scripts\butterfly\case.py” line 748, in blockMesh, “C:\Users\mmel\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\scripts\butterfly\case.py” line 112, in getContainerId, “C:\Users\mmel\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\scripts\butterfly\runmanager.py” line 215, in command, “C:\Users\mmel\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\scripts\butterfly\runmanager.py” line 47, in script
This is a bug and this is why it is happening: I add the path to programs files and docker to os.environ every time that the analysis is ran without checking if it already exist and in your case after a couple of 100 times it end up being too long. I can fix it quickly today or tomorrow and then you can update it on your machine.
hi FedericoCucchi,sorry to jump out like this
how did you optimization run? i want to ask you a little question,i want to optimization the wind speed in a room,but i can’t get the Specific value of one point,did you have this problem ?what target parameter have you used to do the optimization
i tried to create a single point and run the simulation, what i got was a vector with “U”, and the wind pressure of the point with “p”, is the length of the vector representative of wind speed of that point?
I tried to run an optimization in Butterfly,and i have this problem too. But i can’t open the update of butterfly.gh you provided above.could you please sent it again? there is another error that after some iterations,the simulate stops at time=17,which the result do not convergence.

when i do the simulation for one time,everything look good.i don’t know why it goes wrong in the optimazation.
