Rigid origami simulator. Binary for win32rigidorigami009 zip ver 0 09 details on the system and method history. Rigid origami simulator is a handy easy to use application specially designed to simulate kinematics of rigid origami from opx or dxf crease pattern. Made with tomohiro tachi s superb rigid origami simulator http www tsg ne jp tt origami my crease patterns are here.
2010 08 30 ver 0 08 fixed several bugs. As facet stiffness becomes very high this simulation approaches a rigid origami simulation and models the behavior of a rigid material such as metal when folded. The simulation method is based on projection to the constraint space thus possible to use folding motion of all crease lines as driving force of folding.
Our system is based on rigid origami simulation and uses crease angles of all fold lines as variables to represent configuration of an origami model. Internally constraint stiffnesses are scaled by the length of the edge associated with that constraint to determine its geometric stiffness. Introduction rigid origami folder is a commandline tool developed by zhonghuaxi it loads a crease pattern and find the folding path for it it may take a while typically several seconds once done a window will be popped up to show the origami which user can.
This results in a robust overall motion which is. To deal with rigid origami with irregular crease patterns tachi developed a numerical method based on a modified version of the loop closure constraint developed by belcastro and hull belcastro et al 2002 to simulate the folding motion of rigid origami. Rigid origami folder this tool is develop for the project folding rigid origami with closure constraints see project page for detail.
Rigid origami simulation in this grasshopper definition you can use the crane plugin to simulate real time origami folding.
