Force-Based Design
Force-Based Design is a method in structural optimization where designers use the flow of forces through a structure to decide where to place material for strength and stability. In this approach, designers look at how forces like weight or wind move through a building or object, then shape or arrange the parts so that material is only where it is needed to carry these forces. This helps make structures lighter and more efficient, because less material is used but the structure still stays strong. By following the paths that forces take, designers can create forms that are both practical and visually interesting, which can lead to new ideas in architecture and product design.
