Datastructure
The Datastructure of the package interprets the assessment problem with four distinct objects.
The FormDiagram element deals with the topology and geometry of the connected graph representing the projection of the path of the forces within the structure.
The Shape element deals with the geometrical data acquired from the existing structure’s upper and lower surfaces (extrados and intrados).
The Optimiser element deals with the parameters for the optimisation, such as the definition of the solver, the objective function and the constraints to be applied.
The Analysis element manages the information form all of the above and set up and perform the optimisation.
These elements are created in the workflow defined here. To illustrate the workflow a series of examples are available to showcase possible applications.
