Hey guys, another update time on the Bridge Optimizer:
Code: bit.ly/3JZic8n

This update consists of the driving lane logic and the implementation for Altair Hypermesh.
Basically, the problem is to build a driving lane which is somewhat symmetric and also has as few elements as possible. The bug mentioned at the end has been fixed now and the resulting bridge is shown in the thumbnail.
I go over the changes based on the graph of git in more detail. Hope this helps to understand where I made changes and what the path forward may look like.
The driving lane can be found with the help of the A* (A-Star) algorithm. It is quite popular in engineering problems as well as navigation and I am sure in many other areas. The goal is to find a cost-optimal path from A to B. In our case, the cost is the distance.

Next up (and also requested seperately by one of you guys) is hyper view scripting and report generation - which I will do in a lazy version at first but for sure is to be expanded in the future.


Thanks for your time and your interest. If you have questions, please let me know :)
