| Abstract: |
The paper overviews the various custom workflows and technologies deployed in the design of a 340m tower located in downtown Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The technologies used range from custom CAD to analysis package linkages, stiffness optimization scripts, database workflows for efficient post processing and web based data visualizations. These custom workflows rethink and interrogate the standard process of structural design as required by “point and click” methods of structural software usage. Implications for leaner design teams and more thorough structural design are also explored. |
