Thesis film part one - Michael van Telgen

This film describes partially what my master's thesis is about. I am a student at the Eindhoven University of Technology, and I'm graduating at the faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning for the master Structural Design.

The film depicts some important facets of tensegrity dome design, and how I can make an optimization for the specified parameters. This is done using a Generative design, which was made in Grasshopper. The structural analysis is performed in Oasys GSA, and the information is sent between Grasshopper and GSA using Smart Structural Interpreter by Geometry Gym. Galapagos is the used evolutionary solver.
