Light Weight Roof - Surface Triangulation - Part 2/3

2013-09-09T08:32:59.149Z

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)

Form Finding with Flexible Modules

Example of a form finding experiment with Kangaroo that we've been working on in an attempt to apply a universal module to free-form surfaces.

Principal Curvature Line component

2010-11-30T14:29:56.740Z

This is a first stab at a component that draws principal curvature lines on surfaces. While integrating the curvature vectors turned out to be not too difficult, finding a way to select the "right" set of seed points for a well-spaced grid is much more difficult. Maybe some combination of this component and Daniel Piker's method?
