[ATM] PLOP Figures
I have been playing around with PLOP this am and have some questions....Here
are the specs for my mirror:
13.1"
59.5" FL
1.5" Thick
2.6" Secondary
Soda Lime Plate Glass
I ran the Automated Cell design for both a 6 and 9 point design. I then
modified the radii on the Cell Design tab to be Monte Carlo. This gave me an
average and maximum error readings as follows:
6-point
1.32996e-06 Av. Error
1.34398e-06 Max Error
9-point
1.76221e-06 Av. Error
1.76221e-06 Max Error
Furthermore, I was playing around with the 6-point design and found that if
I moved the radius of the points further out, I eliminated all of the "red"
areas, save for one in the center of the mirror that will be covered up by
the secondary anyway. What is the best way to optimize the cell design in
PLOP? I plan on using 3/8" plywood to make the supports, then attach them
with RTV pads. No clips, sling or lower edge supports.
