Wind Analysis Definition 1. Divide the surface into desired number of pieces 2. Extract the normal vector of each pieces of the vector 3. Determine the wind vector 4. project the wind vector into the normal vectors obatained in step 2 5. visualize the pieces of the surface by the degree of fitness between the pieces normal vector and the wind vector.

Final Definition for Project
1. Create surface with diamond panels 1.1 Mesh the surface with U value of 4 and V value of 80 1.2 Use the Weaverbird Midedge subdivision command to create lines of diamond pattern on the surface. 1.3 Rebuild the diamond surfaces with the lines obtained in step 1.2. 2. Steel Frame 2.1 Offset the lines obtained in step 1.2. 2.2 Use pipe component to create the steel frame. 3. Panels 3.1 Scale down the border of the surface to get a concentric parallelogram of the border. 3.2 Loft the original border and 3.1. 3.3 Use the centre point of the general shape to scale 3.1. 3.4 Loft 3.1 and 3.3.
4. Energy generators 4.1 Create a group of parallel lines in the parallelogram 3.3 by dividing and lining corresponding points on it. 4.2 Pipe 4.1. 4.3 Find the points that the cantilevers of the energy generators should be located on by dividing 4.1 by the spacing of each generators. 4.4 Move the points by the vector defined by the points of the centre of 3.3 and the centre of 3.1. 4.5 Line up the two groups of points obtained in 4.4. 4.6 Pipe 4.5. 4.7 Draw a rectangular at the end pointing outward of 4.5 and offset it to create a box.
