Interactive FE-based form exploration and evaluation for architects
Original language description
This research aims to provide architects with an interactive Finite Element (FE) analysis during the conceptual design phase through the development of a "middle-ware", a bridging tool between an FE solver and the architectural modelling environment. Architects are typically not trained to use expert FE analysis software directly. Therefore, simplified FE modelling, as well as concise presentation and interpretation of analysis results would be beneficial in early stages of the design process. Simplified result interpretation should help architects to identify structural problems and guide them towards structurally improved designs. This will allow them to not just independently evaluate a theoretically unlimited number of design alternatives, but alsoto find better structural solutions. To develop a means of simplified structural evaluation, a review was carried out of existing form finding, evolutionary structural optimization and other optimization methods and tools. The resulting
