Cyclops is a ray-tracing analysis plugin for Grasshopper that utilises the power of modern GPUs to accelerate environmental simulations. It supports a range of analyses including radiation, sunlight and daylight and is capable of efficiently managing large-scale, complex geometries and high density analyses.
The development of Cyclops is driven by Foster + Partners’ commitment to sustainability, promoting widespread adoption and the integration of more sustainable design practices across the industry.
The plugin offers a minimal update workflow using scenes where static data like geometries can be retained between analyses. This reduces computational overhead, making it ideal for optimization workflows and iterative processes.
