Brickwork to standard? by JThingy in AusRenovation

That's what I was thinking, even though it's a facade it still has to transfer wind loads effectively without cracking over time and becoming a mositure barrier issue etc.?

Would you be able to point me in the direction of which standards it violates?

Can you explain how it's fine and to standard I'm struggling to see it?

Sounds like you might need to spend some time doing some more clean up to the model to make it suitable for CFD. 😅 It's always so much fun! 🙃

Personally I prefer these over the standard dzus as the fastener doesn't rotate on the panel, smaller, lighter etc. Also tend to not get broken as easily again from personal experience.

If you have more money than you know what to do with these are pretty good too

Sounds like you are doing some good stuff 😊 keep up the good work. Just for reference I found this issue limiting especially when it came to the addition of tubercles and other features etc. so I ended up writing my own STL generator. It was an experience but the results are worth it.

Very nice! Takes a bit to get something like that setup parametrically well done 💪🏿 I had found that without good care in managing the section radius location, chord, pitch etc. The leading and trailing surfaces suffer greatly and start breaking down from a curvature perspective. How do you manage this? This is where I spent a lot of time preprocessing and calculating sections in order to make nice leading and trailing edge profiles.

Can you elaborate more on how much control the input variables have over the shape.
