OPTIMIZED CHAIR

PHASE / RESEARCH PROJECT, FABRICATED

COLLABORATOR / DONG-JAE CHO AND NARI YOON

We designed chair having optimized structure to support human - weight. We used “EQUSTRUCT” and "TOPOSTRUCT” to create optimized structure.

TEST 01: Used “EQUSTRUCT” Tool which is a structure optimization software

We designed two base panels on the top and bottom. Then, we selected basic module [pyramid] supporting tow panels, and found optimized structure system between two base panels to support weight using "EQUSTRUCT"

TEST 02: Used “TOPOSTRUCT” Tool which is a structure optimization software

The purpose of software is to find an optimal shape or material in a certain conditions and applied loads. This software supports both 2D and 3D systems as well as a number of ways of visualizing the structural analysis results.
