Results from the course Collaborative Multi-Disciplinary Design Optimisation course. These groups represent those who have shown examplary understanding of MDO and Design Automation and as a group were able to successfully divide and execute the various tasks given to them by the course coordinators.

So for the best project we have a real beast. Advanced modeling, awesome coding and great results. It has to be pointed that the project presented is not only a parameterised rubber model. All the detail such as boards and ribs are actually instantiated, which can be visualised in the video below, meaning that a bill…

In this project a product configurator is presented. The CAD models are no lookers but the logic created to enable interactive configuration together with the GUI is spot on. Good job!

This project is close to perfection. They’ve managed to automate a vastly complex structure. Note that the planks are not a material choice, but rather context dependent instances of actual Plank templates. The detail level is insane.

This project shows in an unique way how automation can be used to create complex structures, as in this case unique user-defined trees. It was a privilege to watch this group evolve during the course.

Perfect execution, awesome finish, and the instantiation of the windows is spot-on. This project also gets special mention due to the best poster produced this year where the application is intuitively described.

This is one of my favourites. Simplicity and complexity in perfect harmony. Awesome!

Smart thinking, good planning, proper modelling, top detailing. Great work!

Good planning of the branch-geometries within the group, before writing the automation routines resulted in this great work:

A great example of how to re-use models in an automated fashion to generate a broad variation of designs.

We’ve seen the struggle. They’ve worked very hard and managed excellently to produce a respected end result.

Results from the course Collaborative Multi-Disciplinary Design Optimisation course. The top three groups are the following (in no specific order). These 3 groups represent those who have shown examplary understanding of MDO and as a group were able to successfully divide and execute the various tasks given to them by the course coordinators. Adam Eklund, Martin…

Inspired by the Munich olympic park and the legendary Frei Otto, this group has created a truly amazing automated design which is able to automatically instantiated tensile structures on extreme design surfaces. Enjoy the video!    

2nd place Easily transform you conceptual tower. Then automatically instantiate the complete structure AND all the window which are placed upon the generated structure. A great example of instantiation upon instantiation. Amazing project! 3rd Place Perfectly executed model which is able to automatically generate a tower with individually instantiated windows which differ in size and…

6th place Wadala Tower project is an amazing implementation of how structural elements can be automatically instantiated on conceptual and complex geometries. The result of this project is impressive. 7th place The LiU Zeppelin project is a great example of how repetitive processes can be automatically configured. Here the best examples are the outer plates as well as…

Part of the result of the Product Modeling Course TMKT57 at Linköping University. Top 10 result will follow in the coming days…

Imagine a greatly complex product. Now imagine this product generated 100% automatically with insane detail level. This is perfect!

The goal was to generate the most common types of Ferris Wheels. This was accomplished by identifying the critical features and determine the sequence of how the main parts of the product should be instantiated. This process is well defined and it works elegantly as the users can setup their custom made Ferris Wheel!

On third place we have two groups as well. Both groups have of course very good modeling and programming implemented in their respective projects. Specifically, the Infinity bridge project has been able to create a robust and flexible solution for a design which can seem simple but is in fact very complicated. The Roller Coaster is…

This project is well executed and a perfect example of how design automation can be implemented. Repetitive operations are automated to generate conceptual Caravan instances.

On 5th place we have two projects this year, which although worked with different products, still had similarities. Both project succeeded in executing there modeling and automation in a way so that the end results stayed true to the product which was chosen. London Eye and IJ Bridge have never been as robust, flexible and incredible!
