A recent rib structure study developed in GC.
The depth of the ribs is controlled by a variable which is calculated in relation Dot.Product function. Dot Product: In mathematics, the dot product, also known as the scalar product, is an operation which takes two vectors over the real numbers R and returns a real-valued scalar quantity. It is the standard inner product of the Euclidean space.In Euclidean geometry, the dot product, length, and angle are related: For a vector a, a•a is the square of its length, and, more generally, if b is another vector, a * b = |a| *|b| *cos(?) where|a| and |b| denote the length (magnitude) of a and b , and ? is the angle between them. Since |a|cos(?) is the scalar projection of a onto b, the dot product can be understood geometrically as the product of the length of this projection and the length of b.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_product )
The variable created in this example takes the Arccosine of the Dot Product for 2 vectors, which are the Z direction of the base coordinate system and the Z direction of the coordinate system created on the surface. Since the result will be an angle between 0 and 180, the Arccosine of the Dot Product is divided to 180, thus producing a variable between 0 and 1.

I’ve attended the Smart Geometry 2008 Workshop and Conference, which was held on February 27th- March 5th, in Munich.
The workshop structure was comprised of 5 different categories, namely Environment, Fabrication, Form, Computation, and Architecture. I was part of the Computation group, looking into ways of scripting and manipulating mathematically defined forms in GC. My goal was to develop YME’s proposal for the AADRL.TEN Pavilion, basically defining the underlying geometry, the mobius-klein nonmanifold, in a parametric manner inside GC and then populating this geometry with components of varying depths and openings. In GC script, it is possible to describe any geometry with an explicit formula. Thus, by defining the x, y, z parameters of the surface and inserting variables for its sub-domains in GC script, it was possible to visualize any part of the surface by changing the sub-domain variables. Afterwards, four types of simple components with different depths and openings were assigned to the UV coordinates to populate the 4 sub-domains of the mobius-klein nonmanifold.
