Design of a dynamic fiber wrapping system with Agent Based Modeling

The main requirement for the project was the development of a design methodology that uses an agent system. In order to define a set of behavioral rules, a biomorphic analogy of the structure of Fibrinogen during blood clots was realized, when it is observed entangled around red blood cells.

To emulate these geometries, a system of agents made up of spheres and fibers was created. Spheres were assigned a reproduction behavior that emulates cell mitosis, seeking to populate a defined path. The fibers, represented by sets of curves, were assigned different behaviors by means of which these avoid collisions with spheres, with each other, and seek to generate radial sequences around the spheres. A post-production logic was implemented to correct unwanted collision cases.

As initial applications of the system, a line of fashion accessories and a dystopic architectural use were proposed.
