This is the final Project for Columbia's GSAPP Adaptive Formulations Session A course. Each student must design a rectangular modules to tile on a free-form surface. This system is designed so that each student's module can be instantiated in random iterations of the module across a reference surface through a script - creating a abstract-architectural equisite corpse.

Design Requirments:

• Your module must be have some degree of tangency to reference surface on at least 2 parallel sides.
• Your module must contain some solid geometry.
• Your Design Table must include 5 stable configurations of your module's parameters

Model Requirments:

Each module must contain Catia Powercopy with ALL the following inputs ONLY:

1. 4 edge bounding edge curves on the reference surface
2. 1 Reference Surface (provided)
3. 1 integer parameter named "config" driving the module's Design Table configuration
4. 4 Base points*

* the four base points must be inputs for your module, However design-wise they are not required. Just use them and hide the child geometry if they are not used for your module's design.

Your module is contained inside an Ordered Geometric Set. Your module's parameters and formulas are internal to the powercopy. A design table with 5 stable configurations is also internal to the powercopy and driven by an external integer parameter named "config".

Naming Conventions:
Name your powercopy "Module_PC". The inputs shouls have the following names:

• 4 curves - Spl_1_2, Spl_2_3, Spl_3_4, Spl_4_1
• 4 points - Point_1, Point_2, Point_3, Point_4
• reference surface - ref_srf
• configuration Parameter - config

Submission Requirements:

Submit a pdf graphically diagramming your module's parametric relationships. Explain which parameters drive which geometry. Show your excel design table and with range of each parameter. Images of your module in each design table configuration and in three different instantiations across the wireframe field condition.

1. Submit a CATPart file with your module containing the powercopy.
2. The Excel Sheet referenced by your Module's Design Table
3. Another CATPart file with your module instantiated across the the provided wireframe context file.

NAME YOUR FILES THIS WAY:

Name = First_Last

Module CatPart - "Name"_Module.CATPart 

Instantiation of Field Condition - "Name" _Instantiation.CATPart
Name = First_Last

Design Table excel - "Name"_ DT.xls

Module Diagram - " Name" _Diagram.pdf

DEADLINE: 4/4/2011

Use the reference files provided. The instantiation script is titled LOOP_PC in the provided catvba library file. The code is commented for your convenience.
