Abstract

Recently, the idea of a research engine has been developed, in which a spatial design is transformed into a structural design and vice versa by means of a cyclic procedure. Within this engine, a finite element model is applied that uses structural loads on the structural design that are derived from surface loads acting on the spatial design, such as wind loads, gravity loads, etc. This paper presents a method for the derivation of these structural loads from surface loads. The method is based on 1) finding the loaded surfaces among all surfaces of the spatial design; 2) selecting the structural elements that belong to the loaded surfaces; and 3) distributing the load among these structural elements. The new method functions correctly and will be combined with a recently developed procedure for stabilizing kinematically unstable structural systems to finish the research engine's spatial-structural transformation part.
