Method for controlling structural member design considering constructability of formwork

A method for controlling a structural member design considering constructability of formwork, the method comprising:

• an initial input step S10 wherein drawing information including structural member information is inputted from a graphical user interface;
• a recognition step S20 wherein on the basis of the drawing information inputted at the initial input step S10 and previously set information stored in a storage medium, space information and structural members are recognized from the drawing information by means of a control processor connected to the graphical user interface and the storage medium;
• a space partitioning step S30 wherein on the basis of the recognized space information at the recognition step S20 and the drawing information, arrangement spaces in which previously set standard forms are arranged are derived and determined;
• a form arrangement step S40 wherein the previously set standard forms are virtually arranged in the derived and determined arrangement spaces at the space partitioning step S30, while having no interference with the structural members;
• a coordinate determination step S50 wherein on the basis of a virtually arranged form layout at the form arrangement step S40, coordinate positions of the previously set standard forms are recognized;
• and
• an optimization step S60 wherein the previously set information stored in the storage medium includes form cost information, variable information of the structural members, and objective functions making use of the form cost information and the variable information of the structural members and having size information of the structural members as a variable, so that the variable information of the structural members is changed according to an operation control signal of the control processor to individually calculate the objective functions to allow a minimum cost function value to be obtained;
• wherein the initial input step S10 comprises an arrangement space section input step S15 wherein the arrangement spaces where the previously set standard forms are virtually arranged are inputted;
• wherein the space partitioning step S30 comprises:
• an arrangement space section deriving step S31 wherein arrangement space sections from the virtual arranged spaces inputted at the arrangement space section input step S15 are checked out;
• and
• an arrangement space determination step S33 wherein the arrangement space sections checked at the arrangement space section deriving step S31 are determined as arrangement spaces;
• and
• wherein an objective function of the objective functions has the following equation:
