How to add thickness to RV2 calculations

Hi,

I am learning RHINOVAULT2, and the shell structure result that Im getting is without thickness. So how can I make RhinoVault 2 take into consideration of thickness? Or how can I size my terracotta tiles using the information from rhino vault 2?

hi,

the result you see in RV2 is the funicular network in equilibrium with the loads you defined, for example the gravity loads corresponding to a certain thickness of the surface.

materialisation of this surface into tiles is not currently something that RV2 does for you, but that is relatively simple with a few lines of code.

perhaps this can help you to get started…
