The model describes a facade structure that consists of a combination of member, surface and solid elements and integrates several releases and joints to absorb tolerances. The front T-sections are modeled using member elements, while outriggers as solid elements ensure optimal force distribution between the supporting elements and the secondary structure. Smoothing areas were defined at the contact points of bolts and elements to distribute stresses correctly. The anchor points utilize defined spring stiffnesses and the compression points of the concrete ceiling to withstand large self-weight forces, while adjustments were made to the expansion points to account for the concrete ceiling, which is only 20 cm thick.
