Goal
The goal of this project was to write a program that could run the CISAT system a certain number of times, select a certain number of best runs, then vary the boundary conditions to see what impact those conditions have on the strength-to-weight ratio (SWR) of the resulting trusses.
The program uses Markov matrices to perform “n” number of runs. It then keeps the “m” best runs based on their strength-to-weight ratio.
