Wood Sort
Wood Sort is a design code that explores the possible configurations of a truss made by a limited selection of scrap wood.The optimization process deals with the following factors:
– Surface deviation; how well does the new set of diagonals meet the original surface
– Displacement; how much does the elements deform
– Mass: What is the total mass of the truss
As described in the pseudo-code above, the parameters that we are playing with ultimately leads to the fitness values of surface deviation; displacement of wood sections; and overall mass.
