MAYA-aided sculpture design and ANSYS Finite Element Structural Analysis——A Case Study of a Public Sculpture in JiangBei New District of Nanjing

Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization in China, public sculptures have become landmarks of many communities or architectural complexes, and promoted cultural environments. Computer-aided public sculpture design combined with structural analysis has become a new creation mode. This study investigates computer three-dimensional aid design combined with computer-aided engineering based on the creation practice of a sculpture in Jiangbei (north of the Yangtze River) New District of Nanjing to improve design efficiency and design quality. The results have certain reference significance for the current digital public sculpture design.
