FEA Analysis_Prelimary Attempt 1
A few images showing very preliminary FEA analysis.
Axial stress with an aluminum pipe cross section.
Shear stress with an aluminum pipe cross section.
Axial stress with an aluminum “T” cross section.
Shear stress with an aluminum ”T” cross section.
Analysis includes:
-Evenly distributed loading (Inaccurate!)
-Axial & shear loading calculation for 2 cross sections
-”T” cross section appears to resist more loading and force high stress areas to the lower right landing of the surface.
-Provides generic feedback for the surface generation….




Tesselion is a project by Skylar Tibbits which proposes a system of flat panel tessellation derived from complex surfaces to
enable ease in constructability and a directly evolved spatial environment through lighting,
programmatic adaptation and structural simplicity. Each panel’s uniqueness is afforded by
the efficiency of digital fabrication while coded parametric relationships allow an emergent structural
efficiency, from a single panel to the complete adaptability of the surface as a whole.
