Architectural

modeFRONTIER can be applied to Architectural engineering issues concerning all aspects of building design. Most of the common case studies deal with issues and topics related to buildings such as planning and financing, analysis and design, construction and maintenance, and preservation

  • Exploring the potential of climate adaptive building shell

    Exploring the potential of climate adaptive building shell

    Roel C.G.M. Loonen, Marija Trcka, and Jan L.M. Hensen

    Nov 2011 Building shells with adaptive, intuitively offer opportunities for both energy savings and comfort enhancements. Development in this field is still fragmented and the most effective type of climate adaptive building shell (CABS) behaviour is still unknown. This paper explores the potential of CABS by using building performance simulation in combination with multi-objective optimization. read on Exploring the potential of climate adaptive building shell

  • Fatigue Assesment of Panaro Bridge: Preliminary Results

    Fatigue Assesment of Panaro Bridge: Preliminary Results

    Francesco V. Lippi, Michele Orlando (Consorzio Pisa Ricerche), Walter Salvatore (University of Pisa), Giovanni Sorrentino, Marco Tisalvi (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana)

    Sep 2011 In this paper, preliminary studies performed on the Italian case study, the Panaro Bridge, are reported. In particular, results of the standard fatigue assessment according to Eurocode rules were compared with the actual fatigue damages occurred to deck secondary components to obtain a preliminary critical review of adopted fatigue assessment methodologies. read on Fatigue Assesment of Panaro Bridge: Preliminary Results

  • The City of Love and Hate

    The City of Love and Hate

    Adnan Ihsan, Amirali Merati, Evangelia Poulopoulou, Foteinos Soulos (Columbia University)

    Sep 2011 This paper proposes a new design process using an automated workflow that incorporates the computational iterations and the design values of an architect in a unified process aiming to produce high performing optimized results. The procedure, that is described, uses CATIA for parametric simulation and modeFRONTIER for multi-criteria optimization. read on The City of Love and Hate

  • Multiobjective Optimization on Urban Flooding

    Multiobjective Optimization on Urban Flooding

    Xing Gang Tang et al., Northwestern Polytechnical University (China)

    May 2011 Urban flooding due to climate changes, dam breaking and drainage systems being overwhelmed by rainfall causes a huge loss to mankind civilization every year all over the world. This work aims to minimize the flooding damage by optimally design the building location and interspace. read on Multiobjective Optimization on Urban Flooding

  • Post Parametric Design For Libya Media City

    Post Parametric Design For Libya Media City

    David Benjamin - Director, Living Architecture Lab at GSAPP & Principal, The Living

    Nov 2010 A design studio with modeFRONTIER, CATIA, Robot 2010, Buro Happold, and the Columbia Department of Computer Science. We will be among the first architects in the world to use new multi-objective optimization software (modeFRONTIER). We will test with digital simulations (FEA and Ecotect) and we will test with physical prototypes (digital fabrication and wind tunnel experiments). read on Post Parametric Design For Libya Media City

    Metrics, Meaning, Mumbai

    David Benjamin - Director, Living Architecture Lab at GSAPP & Principal, The Living

    In our experiments, we will use advanced computational methods (evolutionary computing) and new multi-objective optimization software (modeFRONTIER). We will test with computer simulations (finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamics) and we will test with physical prototypes (digital fabrication and wind tunnel experiments). read on Metrics, Meaning, Mumbai

  • Convertible Stadium in South Africa

    Convertible Stadium in South Africa

    Jacob R Benyi - Columbia University (USA)

    A stadium is an icon uniquely defi ning a place while serving as one of only a few places where tens of thousands of people gather at one time. Yet, more times than not, these looming structures sit idle and unused, diminishing the value of the huge investment necessary to create it. Understanding the multiple uses a stadium can provide both during an event such as the World Cup and after the fact can provide benefi cial maximization of the intrinsic value of the stadium to its community. read on Convertible Stadium in South Africa

  • Pipe Network

    Pipe Network

    Nader Fateh

    The two loop pipe network has been used as a test problem for optimization algorithms by a number of researchers. Here we describe how the problem was solved using genetic algorithms available in the commercial optimization software, modeFrontier, coupled with Epanet 2, a hydraulics program developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) read on Pipe Network

    Application Cases in Civil Engineering

    Stefano Odorizzi

    May 2005 Permasteelisa Group is the worldwide leader in the design, fabrication and installation of external facades for monumental buildings. They produces shape resistant structures, charachterised by main steel frameworks and a ‘shell’ of glasses. In the structure optimised by modeFRONTIER, the upper arch is a square tubular shape; the lower arch is a pre-strassed cable; the connecting elements are cables. secondary structures are cables and steel shapes. read on Application Cases in Civil Engineering
