Stress line generation for structurally performative architectural design

Principal stress lines, which are pairs of orthogonal curves that indicate trajectories of internal forces and, therefore, idealized paths of material continuity, naturally encode the optimal topology for any structure for a given set of boundary conditions. Although stress line analysis has the pot...
