A comparative Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of two design solutions. Провел сравнительный анализ методом конечных элементов (МКЭ) двух конструктивных решений.

The classic approach with a fully flattened tube proved to be a failure, while the new design featuring a partially crimped tube and an integrated hub demonstrated a massive increase in the factor of safety and reliability. Engineering is in the details!

Geodesic Dome Structures for Glamping: 6.4 Meter Frame Example

One of the main goals in this project was to optimize the frame's grid layout. I usually design the bottom row using equal-length segments, but in this case I had to manually adjust the grid after running the macro.
