This is the first paper in a series of papers that are intended to cover the present state of knowledge in the field of formex configuration processing. This field of knowledge has been developed during the last three decades and has now reached a level of maturity that makes it an ideal medium for configuration processing in many disciplines. In particular, it provides a rich assortment of concepts that are of great value to the engineers and architects involved in the design of space structures.

“…Different methods have been proposed for configuration processing and data generation, among which one can refer to the formex algebra of Nooshin [1,2], Nooshin et al [3] and Nooshin & Disney [4]. Behravesh et al [5] employed set theory and showed that some concepts of set algebra can be used to obtain a general method for describing the interconnection patterns of structural systems.…”

In this paper new weighted triangular and circular graph products are presented for configuring the new forms of structural models. The graph products are extensively used in graph theory and combinatorial optimization, however, the weighted triangular products defined in this paper are more suitable for the formation of practical space structural models which are impossible to generate by the previous products. Here, the weighted triangular and circular products are employed for the configuration processing of space structures that are of triangular shapes or a combination of triangular and rectangular shapes and also of the solid circler shapes as domes and some space structural models. The covered graph products are represented for selecting or eliminating some parts or panels from the product graph by using the second weights for the nodes of the generators. Cut out products are other new types of graph products which are defined to eliminate all of the connected elements to a specified node, to configure the model or grid with some vacant panels inside of the model. This application can easily be extended to the formation of finite element models.

“…The programming language Formian was invented with the aim to be such a design tool, which will make easier and more effective the cooperation between all participants in the design process. It is based on simple principles of formex algebra invented by Nooshin [1] and Nooshin et al [2], and it has the possibility to define the numerical models by means of broad sets of parameters optionally declared by the programmer according to the needs of current stage of the design. Due to such parameters, these models can be fluently and precisely adjusted to the conditions for rapid and numerous modifications of the investigated structural system.…”

Numerical models defined by means of a suitably assumed set of parameters make it possible to select the optimal structural solution for the given or assumed conditions. The paper presents examples of applications of numerical models defined in the programming language Formian during the shaping processes of various types of spatial structural systems designed for roof covers. These types of numerical models can be relatively easily adapted to the requirements, which can be frequently changed during the investment process, what makes possible a considerable reducing of costs and time of design of the space structures having even the very complex shapes. The advantageous features of application of numerical models defined in Formian are presented in models determined for selected forms of the roof covers designed also by means of a simple type of a space frame. In the paper, there are some presented visualizations made on bases of these models defining mainly for structural systems developed recently by the author for certain types of the dome covers. The proposed structural systems are built by means of the successive spatial hoops or they are created as unique forms of the geodesic dome structures.
