Modeling Approach
For this design, I first created a 10x10 size grid to test the performance of my cuboid elements. I adjusted the width and length of each my cuboid according to my grid spacing. The heights of the cuboid vary with an attractor point I created with two sliders (for X and Y) and are calculated by the equation given in the assignment instruction. There are four inputs for the equation which are amplitude, base height (should be larger than amplitude), number of waves, and angle value, which is calculated by dividing the distance from attractor point to cuboids and the maximum distance exist. The output of the equation then is used to be the height of the cuboids. Lastly, the elements were moved up (in the z-direction) for half of the cube heights to ensure the base level is at 0. By adjusting the location of the attractor points and the input parameter for the height equation I came up with the design above.
I found it very important to keep track of the code flow. During my work, I accidental disconnected two nodes which then took me 10 minutes to debug. In the future works, I will keep track of the flow each time I run the model to ensure this happen less.
