Stadium Design Tools

My colleague Ramon and I have been working on a set of tools to develop stadium design. For the bowl layout GH has been an outstanding tool that has allowed us to provide our mates and partners with fast response and strong solutions under changing scenarios and tight schedules.
In our definition, we have taken into account all the main parameters that rule structures of this type, such as C-value, adaptative seat layout, corridor and scape route widths, vomitories, etc.
We are still developing our methods, and future upgrades may include occlusion checking and evacuation simulation. If anyone in the forum has a similar experience or would like to discuss about this topic we will be pleased to provide further information.

In the attached images you can see the quality of vision reflected on a custom preview.
Regards.
R.

    Hi All.

    Attached you will find the StadioMatic definition. It will calculate a quarter of grandstand with a referenced and simple seat.

    Feel free to test it and improve it. Please, let me know your thougths.

    Roberto.

        Hi Roberto, your work is just impressive and detailed!
        I was doing the parametric grandstand before. My idea was to generate the grandstand from several user input such as the first row profile, grandstand boundary, focus point, C value, thread distance and width.
        User can draw the curves in Rhino first then feed them into GH. This post really gives me the desire to continue my unfinished work.
        Here are some pics generated from my system. I am trying to make a more compact version.
