Abstract

This paper shows an algorithm designed in the Rhino-Grasshopper environment, which can create multiple minimally rigid bracing schemes for a given cubic grid structure defined by the user a priori. The algorithm is based on an additive construction method, it creates minimally rigid structures in each step. The algorithm can help the designer in the preliminary design stages to find bracing schemes suitable for the design objectives which all meet the necessary and the sufficient conditions of minimal rigidity by definition. It is an easy-to-use, semi-intuitive integrated design tool, the vast number of variations can be explored in a simple CAD environment with low computational cost. The parametric environment and the generative construction process allows the users to investigate a predefined design space, while it also allows to them to control the constraints rather easily.
