Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a process that may be used to generate the positions of the nodal points of a structural configuration. The process is based on the minimization of a numeric function such as the geometric potential. Several examples presented in the paper are shown to be usable for generating the grid division and improving the regularity of braced domes.
