Abstract
Nowadays computer graphic softwares have opened a lot of potential by providing parametric modeling and generative algorithms which are useful not only to describe various geometrical shapes but also to implement a designer's intent in terms of modules systematically. This study has proposed a way of developing a module for generating preliminary structural configuration using such potential computer graphics. Especially parametric modeling and generative algorithm are utilized to define various design alternatives, and moreover use of dynamic graphics enables designers to generate a structural form on one side and a force flow diagram correspondingly provided on the other. This ultimately leads to rational preliminary design of a structural form considering its force flow.
