In this tutorial we will create a simple canopy we will use for our structural analysis. The canopy consists of a spaceframe and a cover we can control parametrically. When we’ve specified the supports, materials and load cases, we will perform a structural analysis on the structure. We will take a critical look at the results, like maximum displacement, resulting force of gravity, and internal elastic energy. We will also visualize the results to get a better understanding of how our structure behaves under our loads.
The last part will consist of using Silvereye to optimize the structure. Silvereye works similar to Galapagos and is pretty straightforward to use. We’ll use the results from the previous lesson – maximum displacement, and internal elastic energy – as our fitness values to optimize.
