Multi-dimensional data fitting for the structural design of a simple timber connection (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Livingstone, A., Patlakas, P., Milne, M., Smith, S., & Hairstans, R. (2016, August). Multi-dimensional data fitting for the structural design of a simple timber connection. Presented at World Conference on Timber Engineering, Vienna, Austria

This paper presents a novel method of automating the structural design of timber connections and ensuring code compliance within a Building Information Modelling (BIM) context. The mathematical method of Multi Dimensional Data Fitting (MDDF) is prese... Read More about Multi-dimensional data fitting for the structural design of a simple timber connection.
