Generative design - groing av blad
Generative design:
Automatic shape generation of printed parts optimized against external/internal goals. Any goal or combination of goals (multi-objective) can be used as long as they can be measured or calculated. Examples: strength/weight, momentum, moment of inertia, resonance frequency, temperature conductivity/expansion, aesthetics, specific shape etc.
At the ROBIN group we are using generative design for automatic optimization of physical shapes for 3D printing and CNC machining. We have our own custom developed generators based on a new high voxel count FEA modeling technique running on the latest parallel CPU/GPU hardware.
I denne oppgaver studerer vi algoritmer for å gro bladstrukturer inspirert fra trær i naturen. Dette simulerer vi i Matlab basert på cloth-strukturer opphengt i truss-strukturer der vi optimaliserer med hensyn på vekt/styrke samt mottat sollys. Ferdige strukturer vil bli 3D printet og muligens testet i rigg.
