Free-form Grid Shell Design Based on Genetic Algorithms (2011)
article⁄Free-form Grid Shell Design Based on Genetic Algorithms (2011)
abstract⁄In the 21st century, as freeform design grows in popularity, grid shells are becoming a universal structural solution, enabling the conflation of structure and skin facade into one single element Kolarevic 2003. This paper presents some of the results of a comprehensive research project focused on the automated design and optimization of grid structures over some predefined free form shape, with the goal of generating a stable and statically efficient structure. It shows that by combining design and FEM software in an iterative, Genetic Algorithmsbased optimization process, stress and deformation in grid shell structures can be significantly reduced, material can be saved and stability enhanced.
