Thanks!

djordje, there are 16 parameters: x,y,angle, inclination for each of the four cones

daniel,

the last part shows the five objectives:

mass ... iteratively sizing cross sections to reach <100% utilization gives different steel mass for each parametrization, hence the mass is an indicator how effective the geometry itself is.

max displacement ... this goal should get the max deflection below l/300

distribution ... maximize the area between the support points

zoning ... minimize the number of supports that are placed outside the zones

diversity ... maximize uniqueness of each solution

Very cool! 

How are you measuring the performance of the structure?

This is so good on so many levels...really fantastic!

amazing!

Fantastic!
The initial support inclination angle is chosen by user?
