TAPE GUNNED

Quick & Dirty Mock Up for prototype idea
Code creates variable thickness Tape Based on Structural Analysis Information – Algor – Python Research V.2 [12.March.2013] – via Python + Algor
“”” The input is a Text File containing XYZ info as well as deformation values. The code rebuilds the geometry from scratch based on XYZ coordinates, these coordinates are used to re-create the mesh in 3D and paint the vertices based on the value range. This is very useful in recreating and making the structural color maps as drivers in actual geometry instead of simple Textures

. Process
. Create Geometry
. Export STL, Bring into ALGOR run Analysis . Create a base curve to create contour curves which run along surface or mesh
. Use Code to Create variable thickness bands based on analysis info
