FreeGrid DATA on Design Baseline Gridshells
Are you interested in replicate a Design Baseline Gridshell, or to use it as a springboard to conceive your own Design Solution?
Here we offer in Open Access the information that make it easier.
Geometrical data
The geometries of the DBGs, ready to be imported in 3D modelling software
Inputs for structural FEM
The structural performances of the DBGs have been assessed by Ansys Mechanical APDL 22.2. The input .txt files are made available in Open Access for each DBG and each Load Case at both SLS and ULS
Design Goal Metrics of Design Baseline Gridshells
The single Design Goal metrics of the Design Baseline Gridshells are summarized below in order to allow the participants to evaluate the dimensionless bulk performance metrics of their Design Solution Gridshell(s)
FreeGrid TOOLS for computing your metrics
Some postprocessing tools are offered in Open Access to assist participants in checking the fulfilment of the design constraints during the conceptual design, and in the calculation of buildability performance metrics during the final assessment.
