Reciprocal frame study

The first version of a reciprocal frame generator.

[@naus3ayt]

yes, I did it myself as a way to get confident with reciprocal frames. I never had the time/occasion to make to grow from its current "demo" status to something really useful: it just visualizes the structure and gives you measures/angles for each pillar, but it does not export 3d models and/or templates to feed to a cnc machine. if you're still interested I'll put it online; if you end up using it, just let me know about your creation :)

Wonderfull !

[@jeanmichelcote1]

Did you program the application yourself? I'm very interested in getting it. Thanks

Hi Enrico, I'm a furniture design student and I'm currently designing furniture around the reciprocal frame theory. Is there anywhere to see this generator in greater detail?

Enrico, your study is great! Could I get it? Please tell me if it's online somewhere or if you can send it to me. Cheers from Argentina.

[@naus3ayt]

it's just a demo, so it does not have particular functionalities, but you can grab it here: augmentedrealityag.com/download/reciprocal_frames.zip

[@jeanmichelcote1]

I'm indeed quite interested in the source code. Have you coded it in Python? If you agree, i'd check out your code and math just to make sure it fits with the math i've got here. Congrats, it looks great. Put it online ok, i'll download it. Thanks!

Hello Enrico, did the software give you any data on notch position and geometry?

[@naus3ayt]

Hi, I did not spend a lot of time on it, so it gives you dimensions and angles for the beams, but I did not calculate notches precisely: it would be really easy to integrate this functionality calculating the collision volumes between the beams. One day or another I hope to have the time to go back to this thing :)

[@sergemeijerink258]

I am quite sure plenty of people would really be interested...we are on a project testing the structural strength with different amount of members...Am just sick of calculating the angled and dimensions all the time... so was so happy to see your program :)

[@naus3ayt]

I can imagine :) If you want to test the demo yourself, or if you want to improve it, the source code link is in one of the other comments. To transform it into a useful tool, I'd love to make a modern, portable version (Js/WebGL probably) with the possibility to import/export beam data and a 3d model export feature.

[@naus3ayt]

it's in java/Processing; sending you a link

[@naus3ayt]

Hi, this demo lets you fiddle with one of the parameters (number of legs, base/top diameter, leg thickness) and automatically adjusts the others; since it was a personal study, it does not have export features. If you are interested in trying and/or expanding it, just send me a private message with your email and I'll send you the software.

Enrico Viola dear Enrico, it seems to be many years ago but could you still send the software tool you mentionned? Great job, thanks, Heiner

[@naus3ayt]

@@heinerlippe1700 unfortunately it seems I lost the source code when moving to my new house. it's probably just on an old computer... I'm cobsidering rewriting a new version

[@maartenlaarhoven160]

@@naus3ayt how did your new version turn out?

[@sarkamarova6195]

im apso interested in your calculation program :) thanks for sharing

[@ziops86]

Ciao Enrico, scusa se ti disturbo ancora. Alla fine avrei risolto per quanto riguarda la trigonometria relativa al contatto tra le aste. A questo punto.. ti scoccerebbe passarmi il codice del programma che hai fatto? E'davvero molto intuitivo, mi piacerebber giocherellarci. Grazie ancora Davide

[@naus3ayt]

ciao, ti passo il link per mp; è un'idea grezza sketchata in Processing un po' di tempo fa: per giocherellare va benissimo (l'ho scritto proprio per abbozzare un piccolo progetto da giardini), ma manca la possibilità di esportare. se uno di questi weekend ho un po' di tempo ne faccio una versione JS/HTML5 da lasciare online :)

[@latekne7980]

Enrico, questo software è proprio interesante. Senti adesso stò facendo un blog di strutture reciproche e vorrei sapere se posso fare un post sul tuo software? Si mi puoi dare i tuaoi dati per se cualquno vuole conttare con te? Grazie mile!

[@naus3ayt]

grazie! ogni tot penso di rimetterci le mani e farne una versione in js che possa essere usato come un configuratore da browser, ma non ho mai il tempo :) Questo è il mio sito: naus3a.ml Ci troverai i miei contatti e qualche informazione su di me e cosa faccio. Il blog sulle strutture reciproche mi interessa: mandami un link quando è pronto :)

[@FirasTeinz]

Hello, Can you please send me the link containing the software files you used for this video?

[@naus3ayt]

CuriousWanderer it's always the betaish demo I mentioned a few comments ago: augmentedrealityag.com/download/reciprocal_frames.zip

[@naus3ayt]

hey, it's in the comments below

[@MrPetyash]

Hello, Enrico My name is Peter. I want to build house with resiprocal roof, and I'm interested in your generator. How can I get it?

[@naus3ayt]

hey, you'll find a link in one of the old comments. I'm gonna check if I still have the software (I moved to a new country and some of my stuff is still at home); if this is the case I'm gonna put it online somewhere

[@MrPetyash]

@@naus3ayt ok, thank you I'll try to find it

[@naus3ayt]

@@MrPetyash sorry about that; gonna scrub my local and remote hard drives later today :)

@@naus3ayt Hi Enrico, did you have any luck finding it?

[@naus3ayt]

@@Johann757 unfortunately I didn't. Old site is down and backup disks are in a different country. As soon as me or my wife will travel to our home country I'll look into the dusty hard drives and notify you guys with an updated link

Ciao Enrico, davvero interessante il tuo programma, complimenti. Io mi sto cimentando più semplicemente nel disegnare un reciprocal frame sul CAD ma non riesco a venire a capo del problema del contatto tra le aste. Mi potresti postare le indicazioni su come mettere in relazione le variabili che governano il problema? Il mio indirizzo è [e-mail] Grazie molte Davide
