Modelling

Geometrical model
Traditional CAD tools let us precisely model an instance of a physical unit within a computer environment however these models are static and any design change or slight modification of parameters will require partial or full remodelling of the virtual object.
In contrast, the recently developed algorithmic modelling tools offer the possibility to create not just a single instance of the architectural unit but the instead of the algorithmic definition of the unit which requires parameters as input (dimensions, topology etc.). These relatively new methods have been proved to bring advancements in the AEC industry but the humanitarian architecture and emergency tent modelling, in particular, seem to have not adopted to wide use these tools and methods.
 As part of this study, several widespread emergency units have been taken for geometrical and later thermal analysis. The chosen emergency tent units are:
