What Is the Parametric Design Process for GRC Special-Shaped Forms? — Qinglong Group's Digital Design System

Parametric design of GRC irregular shapes drives model generation through algorithms, greatly improving design efficiency and quality. Qinglong Group's process consists of three stages: data input, algorithm generation, and optimized output.

Data input is the starting point of the design. Design intent, environmental conditions, and manufacturing constraint parameters are collected. Qinglong Group adopts multi-software collaboration, using the Rhino+Grasshopper platform to handle complex geometry and Revit to integrate BIM information. Parameters include surface curvature, panel dimensions, and connection methods, totaling more than 200 variables.

Algorithms generate the core model. Genetic algorithms optimize panel segmentation to maximize material utilization. Qinglong Group has developed an automatic stiffening rib generation script that arranges rib positions based on stress contour diagrams. In the Shenzhen project, this algorithm reduced design time from 2 weeks to 3 days, with the optimization rate improved by 50%.

Optimized output of manufacturing data. After manufacturability checks, the model outputs CNC machining code. Qinglong Group's system can automatically generate material lists, mold drawings, and installation drawings, achieving seamless integration of design and manufacturing. This parametric process is key to the efficient realization of irregular GRC shapes.
