This structural analysis of the Chartres cathedral uses shape optimization to envision the structural loads. As the wind loads distribute themselves through the mass, various load paths are taken depending of the structure of the digital mesh used for the simulation. Previous experiments were conducted by Robert Mark using photo elasticity as a way to visualize intricate loading patterns.
