Membrane formfinding (geometry gym)

Hi! I'd like to show the pavillon system that we developed and calculated with geometry's ssi tool and sofistik as part of our master thesis. In the video the fomfinding process and the connection between grasshopper and sofistik is explained. We then exported the cutting areas and build a mock-up in the scale 1:2 of one column.

Great work!

Can't say it too often. :)

This is one example of the structural analysis with sofistik. Here the stress in the system is shown when charged with the wind load.

Hey Alex, I've been trying to open the definition just to take an eye on it but it seems that there's some kind of error displaying in grasshopper regarding an old version of the ssi sofistik plugin. Could you please upload it again with a more recent version? Thanks!

Hey Rafael, thanks for your interest! Sorry it took me so long to answer! Here an updated definition, which works with the new version of ssi sofistik that jon uploaded today. You'd also need the mesh edit plug-in.
