The paper presents examples of applications of numerical models defined in the programming language Formian during the shaping processes of various types of spatial structural systems designed for roof covers. These types of numerical models can be relatively easily adapted to the requirements, which can be frequently changed during the investment process, what makes possible a considerable reducing of costs and time of design of the space structures having even the very complex shapes. The advantageous features of application of numerical models defined in Formian are presented in models determined for selected forms of the roof covers designed also by means of a simple type of a space frame. In the paper, there are some presented visualizations made on bases of these models defining mainly for structural systems developed recently by the author for certain types of the dome covers. The proposed structural systems are built by means of the successive spatial hoops or they are created as unique forms of the geodesic dome structures.展开更多

This will allow significant decrease costs of erection and maintenance of objects covered by these roof structures. The proposed systems have been obtained from the results of suitable transformations of a chosen type of double-layer space frame and an appropriate arrangement of tetrahedron modules in the space of each of the newly designed type of the structural system. All these systems are built by means of concentric hoops having their own integral spatial stiffness obtained after an appropriate pre-stressing. Particular hoops can be mounted on the ground level and then one by one will be hoisted to the designed positions where they will be connected by means of special sets of the tension members. Due to these structural features, the assembly process of each system should be relatively simple, fast and not expensive. The whole tension-strut structure has to be connected to the compression perimeter ring and suitably pre-stressed. There are presented visualizations of the proposed systems prepared on the basis of the appropriate numerical models especially defined for each particular structure.展开更多
