Add butterfly core library as a submodule

I have been reading about using submodules and as tempting as they are they can end up being quite tricky for keeping them in sync and keep everyone to sync the submodules.

fail to create butterfly geometry in dynamo

I used revit 2017, dynamo 2.0.1, blueCFDcore 2017, and I ran revit as admin before run butterfly.
When running the example file of butterfly for dynamo——outdoor analysis.dyn, "create butterfly geometry "fails and shows protocore.DSASM.StackValue in preview box as the sceenshot below shows

Error: Butterfly is not installed!

Hi guys.

Recently I bought a new computer (win10) and installed Revit 2017, Dynamo 1.2.1, Butterfly and OpenFOAM 1612+ as I used to do. However, when I was running the outdoor example using Butterfly in Dynamo 1.2.1, I got an error said that "Butterfly is not installed!" I am confused now because I have installed and reinstalled Butterfly for many times and it still dosn't work.

Is there someone who was faced with this problem? What do you think of this problem? Please help me. Thanks.

Running Butterfly on DynamoForRevit v2.3 returns "Invalid Literal for float(): DynamoForRevit"

Hi,

Please find attached the error, I have executed Revit as an administrator and followed carefully all the steps.

Update dynamo plugin against the new ladybug for dynamo

I have changed a number of nodes which may or may not break the post processing nodes.

Butterfly 0.05 + blueCFD: residuals?

Hi again, I've not been able to get Butterfly working since my computer crashed last year and my hard disk was wiped. BlueCFD seems to be working really well so far and the installation process is truly a blessing compared to what I had to go through previously.

Has anyone else had problems with running the updated example files? I'm testing the indoor test case, but there are no residual values. The solution is not converging as well (up to time = 5000).

Parameter order in recipe components is wrong

I use butterfly (ver 0.0.05 (JAN_12_2019)) on Rhinoceros6 Grasshopper. And I found that constructor's parameter order in recipe component may be wrong.

SteadyIncompressible and HeatTransfer is created in recipe component (UserObject) as following.

In "Butterfly_Steady Incompressible Recipe" component :

recipe = SteadyIncompressible(_turbulence_prop_, fv_schemes_, fv_solution_,
                              residual_control_, _relaxation_factors_)

In "Butterfly_Heat Transfer Recipe" component :

recipe = HeatTransfer(_turbulence_prop_, fv_schemes_, fv_solution_, residual_control_,
                      _relaxation_factors_, TRef=_temperature_)

But each class constructor are defined in "butterfly\recipe.py" as following.

class SteadyIncompressible(_SingleCommandRecipe):
    ...
    def __init__(self, turbulenceProperties=None, fvSolution=None,
                 fvSchemes=None, residualControl=None, relaxationFactors=None):

class HeatTransfer(_SingleCommandRecipe):
    ...
    def __init__(self, turbulenceProperties=None, fvSolution=None,
                 fvSchemes=None, residualControl=None, relaxationFactors=None,
                 TRef=None):

So I believe that fv_schemes_ and fv_solution_ must be reversed in recipe component .

Small Spelling Mistake: Turbulance

Minor spelling error to fix when you get the chance: all of the components for Turbulence are spelled Turbulance. So we just need to replace the "a" with an "e."

English is weird and never written the way it is pronounced.
