SWISSBAU Mesher

Mesher is a Java application that uses the ZORA libraries for dynamically creating an adaptive quad mesh on a sphere. The mesh is reacting on changes of global parameters like

• the radius of the sphere
• the distance of the nodes in the mesh
• a floor and ceiling level cutting through the sphere
• the min./max. length of the diagonals in the quad mesh
• attractor planes (similar to floor and ceiling)

With the Mesher it is possible to interactivly create and optimise the structure of a wooden pavilion that is to be built for the Swissbau fair in Basel early next year.
