Thrust Network Analysis

Thrust Network Analysis is a computational form-finding method in structural engineering that generates compression-only equilibrium surfaces by discretizing forces into three-dimensional networks of thrust lines, distinguished from other analysis techniques through its explicit representation of funicular forms in discrete element assemblages.
