Using the Dlubal RFEM 6 software, we were able to quickly integrate the parametric design done with Rhino/Grassopher software into the structural design because of the excellent interface between both programs. We also used the Steel Design add-on to check the steel tubular elements. For load modeling, we made good use of load transfer surfaces, which was really helpful given the size of the structure. At last, we got the constrained ground reactions for joint sizing. Many thanks for the educational license that let us really dig into the project.
