The design that I chose to optimize was a simple tent structure, like the one seen in the image above. These structures are commonly used as temporary shade and I wanted to investigate how the placement and height of the supporting poles impacted the total volume enclosed by the tent. More specifically, I wanted to find the optimal height and location of the poles to maximize the area under the tent while minimizing the size of the columns.

The total workspace can be seen below. The blue and purple groups are the groups corresponding to the creation of the tent surface while the green nodes are related to calculation of the design quantities. Additionally, the pink are inputs and the orange are outputs.
