In the first stage of the geometrical design approach, the basic volume of occupation is being defined, as well as the space separation. Then, with the aid of a low resolution control polygons the main curves of the structure are extracted. The latter consist of an approximation but are however based on physical and numerical simulation. From this curves the primary and secondary structures are generated, as well as the thermoformed surface.
