Prestressed structure analysis. Define tension and compression.

by Ludovic Regnault

Dec 2, 2017

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share a definition that I made with Kangaroo. Its goal is to define wich elements are in tension or in compression in a prestressed structure. It also check if the structure is stable.

I use it to design tensegrity structures, it is faster than a physical model to check if an idea works :D

Here is a short presentation :

I guess that someone already posted an equivalent definition before. If not, I hope it can help or inspire someone !

Cheers

Dovic
