>>13206058You optimise rebar distribution, weight vs length vs cost vs whatever, or you alter the geometry to improve connection efficiency.
Rationalise the entire collection of connections with some pretty simple scripting and automated alterations in geometry.
Rationalise facade panelling so you only need 5 types for a complex shape - reduces connection types and so on and so on.
>re-run the optimization a million timesFEA software runs millions of iterations already, so why would this even be a problem after 1993?
>Tbh, it sounds like your company provides a meme service.sure, but I mean. We literally build buildings. Complex ones. so I don't know what your definition of a meme is.
But you should email Arup, Burohappold, Ramboll, Skidmore Owings Merril, WSP, Zaha Hadid, Bjarke Ingels, Thornton Tomasetti, Foster + Partners, heatherwick, Renzo Piano, Calatrava, Royal Haskoning, Atkins, Mott Mac, Bollinger + Grohmann and everyone else already doing this work and let them know they're working on memes.
good luck.
