Generating structure on stresses

I did not really know where to post this. Here is a product that has an interesting way to generate structural shapes based on stresses in space.

Can this lead to organic forms?
Is this interesting?

hmm force density method for free .... david did something like that for tents .. wait thats a stress melt like toska... lol thats coool... so now everone can to that .... no annual licence for hell of a money... anyway if grasshopper moves in that segment and rhino is starting volumemeshing....lets say this is interesting .. imagine a car part reducing about 30 percent weight.... very green design approch... less gasoline.. etc. etc. His is much better than this fancy link geometry of panels to sun study for better cabon print and maybe some dubai guy will build it for perodollars.... but thats just a opinion.

These guys programming is amazing, having seen these plug-ins demonstrated first hand.

Fantastic to see work being shared with the wider design community.
