Title: Feasibility-Aware Sequential Synthesis of Structural Support Assemblies: a Canonical Formulation for Automated MEP Support Design Authors: Lavinia Pedrollo, Torben Graeber, Martin Fischer Abstract: Structural Support Assemblies (SSAs) connect Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) services to building structures under strict geometric, catalog-defined compatibility, and structural constraints. Despite their importance, SSA layouts and component selections are still largely determined through manual engineering judgment, even in Building Information Modeling-enabled workflows. Existing digital tools primarily verify or ...
