early test of tspline model of split beam
these are not the latest work, but there was no point in spending time to render the ltest as it is not ready. I was planning to stl, and lazer cut a model of the developed version. Hopefully I will have all this finished by tommorrow. anyway. just did some quick snapshots to post
top intersection with wall. Ignore the wierd jutting out plate.
Below is the intersection with the core showing the interconnected cavities.
The latest model is more developed with interior surfaces and carbon fibre tension lines.
It has also been adjusted to be suitable in terms of the actual angles of circulation and scale etc.
above is part of what will be a manufacturing series showing the mark lines that need to be milled into the granite in the CAD CAM file so that the constuction team can accurtately position each stack. It is also the file for the lazer cut model.
Using Tsplines I am able to have accurate control over the resulting surface geometry so that I can match it to the model testing studies and tensile behavior. This model is then used to create the interior stacked granite slabs so that they can also follow the geometry of the fabric more closely.
Thats the thinking anyway.
Will try to blog again later tonight with the actual model.
