sheet bending and curvature analysis

by joe magri

Nov 12, 2011

Hi everyone,

 

through a series of analogue experiments i have been applying several patterns to plywood to explore the deformation of the material to create a potential sculpture or pavilion. the cuts are to allow for bending and openings to occur.i have attached a photo of one of my models.

i am now trying to record this digitally, to allow me test several patterns and to compare how each pattern affects the surface. the long term goal is to go into Curvature analysis and Galapagos to develop the right cut for the appropriate folding.

 

any suggestions would be amazing as to how to go about achieving this. 

 

joe

ps. i can upload my patterns if needed

    Joe, I´m busy wtih bend and pavilion and I try do with 2 lines: one is a cable and the other is for bending.

    I started small for understand how it works... I´ll send my scripts  OK?

     

    Thanx
