Fiber Pattern Generation Tools for the Design of Long-Span, Core-Less Wound, Structural Composite Building Elements

The tools allowed to model the fiber patterns as polylines and anchor point sequences which acted as a base for planning the robotic motion paths for prefabrication of the BUGA Fibre composite components. The surface-based syntax tool generates local support surfaces to keep subsequent fibers in place.

The resulting fiber pattern is fully parametric and can be tailored to the specific requirements of different fiber components. The interlaced syntax tool generates a smooth fiber body by continuously revolving around the component's long axis and alternating between boundary frames. The output is a continuous polyline.
