Abstract
The augmentation of digital design representation with programmed analysis capabilities can result in a shift from structurebased to performance-based designing. This paper presents a system to translate a simple digital structure representation into information about the multi-dimensional highly integrated and dynamic physical behavior of the design object. The user interface uses an objectoriented representation familiar to the designer, while the physical behavior is calculated internally with an abstract and space-based model formulated in form of a constructive language. The system is intended to serve as a “digital bridge” in the circle of design activities to enable performance-based designing.
