ARCHITECTURAL AUTOMATION

Architecture involves a significant amount of manual work, but many tasks can be automated, utilizing technology to streamline and optimize various aspects of the design and construction process. The key benefits of considering automation include:

– efficiency: it speeds up time-consuming and repetitive tasks;
– accuracy: it assists in generating complex geometry, ensuring precise design and calculations;
– consistency: automation reduces the risks of accidental human error;
– cost savings: custom-made digital tools can save a lot of time for engineers, allowing them to focus on other, more complex problems.

Tasks that can take a substantial amount of time but can be easily automated mostly revolve around 3D modeling. Creating good and precise 3D models can serve various purposes later in the project – ranging from BIM workflows and solar analysis to extracting 2D drawings and exporting 3D files for fabrication.
To develop digital tools, we would need basic instructions, constraints, and architectural details to understand your design.

FREE-FORM MODELLING

Free-form design refers to complex, double-curved, organic, or unconventional shapes that may be challenging to achieve with standard modelling techniques. Algorithms play a crucial role in simplifying the generation of these structures by relying on the computer to automatically perform time-consuming tasks (extracting normal vectors, transforming geometry, creating surfaces – thousands of times).

HIGH-PRECISION MODELLING

The complexity in high-precision modeling arises from the need to account for intricate details, tight tolerances (lower than 0.001 mm), and specific geometric relationships. Achieving such precision manually can be time-consuming and prone to human errors, especially in projects with numerous variables. Relying on algorithms not only saves time but also enhances accuracy, consistency, and the ability to meet specific design criteria.

GENERATING FEM MODELS

The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a numerical technique for static analysis and solving engineering problems related to structural behavior by dividing complex structures into simpler elements. Automating the creation of FEM models not only accelerates the modelling process but also minimizes the risk of errors linked to manual input. This is especially beneficial as it equips engineers with the ability to analyze different designs, work on more detailed models, and address changes in the project more efficiently.

POPULATING BLOCKS

Blocks in CAD are reusable, predefined groups of objects that simplify the design process by enabling users to insert and replicate them across various parts of a project. Nevertheless, placing numerous blocks in thousands of different positions following specific rules can be time-consuming and may result in errors in placement. We can automate this process and create a system where you can position thousands of blocks in a few seconds.
