There's nothing like a challenge, I can say that now; as at this time a week ago I did think we were crazy. Having spent so much time designing with a model it felt like we had wasted a lot of time. It did prove to be invaluable. Thanks Mike. There’s nothing like a challenge, I can say that now; as at this time a week ago I did think we were crazy.

I too think we did well given the little time we left ourselves. Having just picked up a text called <i>Soft Canopies</i> I think we could have done much better. We both enjoyed it and it gave me a good idea of what to expect for my current idea of dissertation topic. Have fun marking it... Ah, cheers Mike.

(actually I didn't think you had a hope in hell of finishing in the time available - from when I saw the model in the last week - so well done!)

Kash, how about a plan you give you some idea of what the <em>initial</em> idea was like - <img alt="Initial plan" title="Initial plan" src="http://engtect.net/images/amphitheatre-layout.gif" /> Clearly Mark, you have not had an afternoon nap as your spelling has gone to pot.

I might not know much about structural optimasation but cerebral optimisation is another matter. What's the point in having 2 eyes and 2 hands and 2 halves of a brain if you don't use them simultaneously. Right now I feel a bit like you do when itterating and the question is there... Plot? cont=0 plot=1 finish=-1 you press "0" hoping the energy pops out a "2" or something lower. Only difference here is we've handed the work in and we're hoping our grades go up. I'm hoping it'll be like when you find one of those rndom high energy frequency nodes!!! I really am geek, I actually was using 2 keyboards. Well what can I say.
