Vellum 101 - Structural Optimisation
Added 2019-09-05 08:15:46 +0000 UTCStill on the road, still working from a laptop. Turns out that this setup isn't really the most efficient thing to do without a beefy workstation but hey - let's just take the challenge!
In this tutorial we're implementing a hacked together version of a structural optimisation algorithm inspired by a technique called ESO. This is one of the seminal optimisation techniques in computerized strucutal engineering that's been around since the early 90s.

Everything is exactly as expected and I'm very pleased to have joined in to see how you did it. I've been working on the problem on my own, using FEM in a multisolver to see if we might go beyond ESO a bit by combining it with other field visualization. Your solution is much more elegant! Haha - I'll share what I have once I come up with something useful.

It's very impressive the amount of content you produce and I am so pleased with the tone and attitude that I find in your videos. It is consistent, compassionate, curious, and patient - really good qualities for pedagogy around complex, technical subjects. :D
