The proposed geometry is a twisting rectangle that tapers in height.
In the following table, we varied the Height and Twist Angle to achieve the proposed gross floor area.
The first step was loading the Twisting Rectangular Mass, adding levels every 10 ft and setting the location of the project to 200 Folsom Street in San Francisco.
Then, the user selects the mass and introduces the parameters in the Dynamo environment. In this case, the base and top widths were assumed constant.
According to the user input, the instance parameters of the form are set to the desired values that will be held constant through the testing.
A range of the parameters to evaluate is created.
This range of parameters is condensed in a list in order to pair the different alternatives.
We proceed to run all the alternatives. In this case, the BuildingForm.EvaluatePairsOfInputsAndReportMultipleResults was modified so it can report the gross volume.
Finally, the results were exported to excel.
