Algorithms that design structures better than engineers

(200px tall x 600px wide beam supported on the left hand edge and with downward force applied to the bottom right.)

You are watching an optimisation algorithm come up with the best design completely automatically. The outcome is greatest stiffness shape possible for a given amount of material. And amazingly it’s a nuanced truss that isn’t far removed from the look of most motorway bridges. That’s pretty reassuring, actually.

Wish we had developed this technology back when I was working on more strucutural items

    is really, really cool
