Concept &hypothesis
How to create a structural concrete facade that is transparent enough to get a good amount of daylight in and is not made of standardized elements?
The growth of a bone structure is nature’s example of a structure reacting to forces applied to it.

Topology optimization; Optimize a shape to the forces applied to it, using the minimum amount of material.
A free 2d example program was used to experiment a little with this.

Things I had to do:- Calculate the forces on a standard building- Find a optimization program to calculate the façade of this building
The building:20x20x12 metersWind load: 1kN/m²Chosen façade thickness:
300mm
- This resulted in the input for a program

As the optimization program I use Diana with a optimization script I received from dr. ir. Max Hendriks, who has done some research about optimization in Diana.
Now I had to model the input.

Some factors are affecting the results:- Mesh Type (triangular/Quadratic)- Mesh division (finer=accurate but
slow)- Number of iterations;
Every node can be reduced 7 times so the maximum number of iterations is 7*nodes. Sow a finer mesh causes exponentionally more calculating time.

Now it raises the question if the Diana calculations are correct:I should somehow create a real model and test it and compare the results with the Diana output.
-Downside of using Diana:Calculation times become very long to get accurate results
