As the structure is a diagonal grid, where forces are distributed, the next step of the performance simulation contained a member verification within the grid geometry in Robot (fig 81). Here we went from verifying only one member to a system of members. It was decided to take the grid of only one floor as a representative example of the project. The principle guiding the results obtained on this floor, can be applied to other floors and similar buildings in the master plan as they will have the same parameters. Performance simulation started with a cross section 200*600mm for main beams and 200*500mm for secondary beams. As in our project the modules are moving and create nodal force in different parts, it is important to mention that we performed the simulation on both day and night arrangements. In this simulation we were comparing different glue-laminated timber types in order to get the most efficient performance. The conclusion of the Robot study is that the most optimal solution for this structure will be to use GL28s 200*600mm for main beams and 200*500mm for the secondary beams.
