Only a small number of tools for computational composition and definition of a structural concept of a building does exist. StructuralComponents provides the designing structural engineer with a toolbox for conceptual design based on a parametric and associative design approach. Structural principles are embedded into the design tools, enabling the engineer to generate various design alternatives in a short period of time, and judge these alternatives based on structural performance. The concepts can be adapted relatively quickly and analyses are rerun directly to study the influence of design parameters. The toolbox has been developed using .NET, an object oriented programming environment, and consists of several independent modules, which can be plugged together. This offers flexibility and versatility to the user, making the toolbox usable for multiple design projects. |
