hi everybody,
i am working on a mould system for concrete shell structures. the concrete shell itself will be a double curved ribbed structure, that relates to gothic vaults. The ribs are densifying around the coloums and then moving the forces down into the ground.
in my case, the ribs that are following the control surface should have the same optical and structural effect as rheotomic curves / streamlines / electric field lines...
here are some ref images:
college chapel, cambridge:
daniel pikers rheotomic surfaces:
i can`t figure out, how to set up a gh-definition to get the streamlines. i used daniel`s "magnetic displace" and the "jellyfish" definition. i already found a way to extract a part of the rheotomic streamlines (horizontal sections through a displaced surface grid). i cant figure out the rest.... maybe someone already did this in gh or has some experience he would share with me???
deadline is in a few days... so please help :)
thanks, jakob
