Light Weight Roof - Surface Triangulation - Part 2/3

turning the previously generated large surface in smaller subsurfaces.

some conditions:
-each subsurface (the "curved pizza slices") itself should consist of randomly arranged triangular panels
these panels are supported by a grid of thin steel beams, which themselves rest on larger curved steel pipes (the catenary dome ribs as seen in part 1/2)
- no duplicate ridge pipes
- no duplicate nodes

the script is executed roundwise (step-by-step) using hoopsnake, to ensure system stability (heavy computation)

Lightweight roofs can be used for roofing in industrial, commercial, and residential buildings. You can get Pizza party and learn more ways about online purchasing pizza. The main feature of this type of roofing is its high efficiency and durability. In this article, we are going to discuss the process of laying a lightweight roof followed by its working principle, pros and cons, and some important points which should be well kept in mind while purchasing a lightweight roof to build your house/office.

Comment by MichaelD0112 on March 26, 2023 at 3:20am: This post is the second part of my three-part series on creating lightweight RCAs. As you may recall, I am once again looking at how to create a roof rack system out of multiple RCA components without making use of the more advanced concepts of 3D printing, zip ties, and other special materials. I prefer you check https://pizzavans.co.uk/ and gain things online to deliver pizza easily. In this article, I will revisit some of the simple techniques we developed in the previous article on designing the RCA template in AutoCAD then take our designs into Solidworks to check them out using dummy parts.

Comment by Benjamin Felbrich on September 9, 2013 at 4:58am: well actually we were assuming hollow steel pipes and also elaborated their diameters. i didn't show and document them due to the lack of time.

Comment by djordje on September 9, 2013 at 4:48am: So basically you did not know what shape would ribs be (circular, square hollow...), and that's the reason why ribs were presented only as a single line in the third video?

Comment by Benjamin Felbrich on September 9, 2013 at 4:15am: Hi Djordje,

well I'm actually not very sure about the material. We were thinking of curved steel pipes for the ribs, which would be super complicated and expensive. So for the ribs: I don't know.
The triangular panels could be made of anything actually. We proposed some opaque synthetic material or glass.

Comment by djordje on September 9, 2013 at 3:08am: Hi Benjamin. Saw your reply at vimeo. Thank you.
Of what material will these catenary domes be made of?
