According to the fixing point, it can be adjusted up and down in one dimension. Once more and more fixing points are attached to the frame, we find that they can find their best position on their own becasue of the self-supporting system of the tensile structure.

Analysis Based on previous experiments, we have better understanding of how the tensile structure works in the 3D dimension. In order to have broad learning from it, we bring the same concept into computer program, construct more optimizing structure (each point is fixed to five different sticks), and make an animation (the structure is compressed and streched by the time) to see how the cuts are performed and varied from each step.

Operation After the 3 experiments of our models, we take the idea of verticle cut as our fundamental digital model because it has more clear and performing logic. In terms of the operation of our digital model, we have 5 rails as the basic tracks for the movement of each points that it can move in one dimension flexibly. Rail01
