I follow the instructions and build this model with dynamo. First I need to decide the block’s length and width. As you can see, I choose the block to be 25*30 and is a big one so that you can see each block on the point clearly and the wave then is not that clear. And then I cross the product with the coordinates and set the wave’s central point. With the point I calculate the distance between each point with the central point to get the maximum. And then I set the number of waves. My model’s number of wave is 1. I also set the base height and amplitude to be 50 and use the formula to calculate each block’s height to form the wave. The final step is to move the whole model up half of the height so that it will all be above zero. That is because when we calculate the wave’s height, we use sin function which is between -1 and 1 so if we want it all to be above 0 we need this step. This whole process is amazing and when I change the block’s size or the number of wave, the whole model and wave’s shape changed. Maybe I can explore it further.
