Introduction
Engineering based on the system is the type of engineering in the interdisciplinary field. It is
commonly used for management in the engineering field. Engineering system mainly focused on
managing the complex system or it can also use to designing the life cycles of the system. This
system is work on the principle of thinking of systems. That's the main reason for using this
system in the project based on AAMI. It can be used in this project managing the entire project
extraordinarily.
This report is based on the topic of Melbourne Rectangular Stadium, it can also be known as
AAMI Park. This park is designed for the youth in which they can show their hidden talent. This
park is mainly located in Melbourne, Australia. This report covers the topic like the needs of
stakeholders, conceptual process and project methodologies. This includes the designing concept
which is based on constructing the AAMI Park. This report includes a brief description of the
Preliminary design of the Park along with the concept. It also provides the information of the
methodologies used for the testing, validation and the optimization of the project. At last, it
describes t evaluation process of the project.

Preliminary design for AAMI Park
The preliminary design shows the designing concept for AAMI Park. The SLDC is the life cycle
which can be used in this project for the management of the life cycle of the entire project. This
cycle is used for designing the plan of the project and also used in making the strategies for the
testing and modeling for making the project effective. This preliminary design is used to
providing the brief concept of the idea and entertainment flexibility based on the project of
AAMI Park. This park is designed in the form of the rectangular pitch; it means that around
31,000 fans are gathered at one time. This construction also focused on environmental factors.
The roof of this Park is designed by using the help of interconnecting triangles along with the
facilities of a lightweight, self-supporting roof. Spectators have not faced interrupted views due
to its functions for generating structural integrity.
Figure 1Preliminary design
Preliminary design based on the economy
The roof is mainly dividing into the three dimensions of the structure. It contains the 20 number
of shells which are independent to each other and through which they can easily share the load.

The structure of this park is in lighter weight due to the single shell surface. It can easily share
the loads via the integration of arching, cantilever and the actions of shells. The concept based on
the structure and geometry will allow the roof to deliver the steel in a range of 50% requirement.
The roof can be work like the layer of the single structure due to the facilities provided by the
shell concept. Through this, the steelwork of the secondary network can be removed out from the
AAMI Park. Modeling based on the parametric used for testing through which the effective
structure can be gained (Anda, M. and Ploumis, M., 2017). This will happen due to permit the
geometry variation by modeling.
Figure 2 Roof designing
Fabrication or erection practicality
The design provides better facilities to shells through which off-site fabrication is made easy and
can be capable to form the transportable size. The erection is made of giving support to the
system. These designs include the 20 number of individual shells which provides the easiness to
the contractor to designing to proper fabrication. This will reduce down the fabrication time of
the construction.
Innovation
The stages include in the construction of the AAMI Park can be based on the effects of virtual
3D. An entire designing team commonly working on this technique the studies based on the
initial of roof and geometry of shell can be undertaken during the concept stages. The roof
5

structure can be explained by a model of parametric. The form of structure can be accommodated
and optimize due to the ability to test several configurations based on the geometric.
Efficiency based on design
The distinctive aesthetic can be produced by combining all the actions and including the
integration of the cantilever, arching and the actions based on shells can be used o make the
structure of truss-free. The parametric geometry can be sued for designing the proper
documentation and the drawing of the project. It can be done perfectly when the inputs are given
to the software (Kennedy, R., 2015).
Design information of the AAMI Park
The construction of this park can be designed by using the principles of the geodesic domes.
These principles can be generated by Buckminster Fuller. There are some used concepts based
on the operational requirements which involve the description of the technology, treats, and the
project cost. The structure of high-level efficiency can be gained by using these principles in the
AAMI Park project. These can be used to show that all the parts of the roof can easily share the
equal load to the multiple paths.
Foundations:
The geology site can be comprised in the valley of the infill ancestral; this was happening during
the project construction. The foundations quality can be maintained by using the TPM system.
The use of the types of equipment can be taken properly during the project for this the workers
have to provide the proper training based on the types of equipment concept. The usability of the
equipment in an appropriate manner can provide a safe environment to achieve safety to the
workers. This project construction includes some parts that are:
 The depth of material filling is 3.5m.
 The depth for the clay of Jolimant is 6m.
 The depth of the basalt can be varying in the range of 3-9m.
6

The piles of board and footings of a pad can be combined during the original design. This
happened due to changes in the depths commonly based on the basalt. Through this, the issues
based on the settlement of differentiation can be reducing down (Searle, G., 2015).
Use of concrete bowl during Park roof construction.
The structure based on the bowl is designed by using the integration of the concrete situ, steel,
and concrete based on the precast. the Melbourne rectangular stadium can be connected by these
sections at locations of strategic. These sections can be divided into six sections. AAMI project
can get horizontal stability by maintaining the loading based on the earthquake and wind. Each
shell has a width of 26m width can be combined easily with the radial grid of 13m.
Structure of the roof
20 geodesic shells will integrate with the 182m long roof. The roof structure can be improved by
using the system of TMP which is commonly based on the cases of the test. This will also use to
maintain construction quality. Three shells can be sued in this structure at the two side north and
south. In the west and east, there are five shells used. Each shell is designed having the diameter
of 273mm. these all can be bounded by the member of groin having the diameter of 508mm.
The interface of roof and bowl
At the bottom corner, the concrete structure is integrating with the shells of the roof. The
interface of the roof is maintained by using these interfaces during the operational requirement
ball and socket can be used for maintaining the rotation during the base connection. Bending
moments can be removed out when each shell is integrating with the slotted hole.
Pitch:
The pitch of the Melbourne rectangular stadium is of the 3m wide. The construction of the
surface can be designed based on the association of the united states golf.

Erection based on the steelwork for the roof:
During this election, several amounts of weakness and strengths of the project can be evolved
out easily and it also provides the detail of the feasibility of the roof. AAMI park designing
includes the interconnected shells approximately 20 in numbers. Each shell can be divided into
several sizes based on the transportable concept and delivery concept. This phase can be taken
only by the contractor.
Façade installation:
The proper training is provided to the stakeholders regarding devices for getting the knowledge
of installing each software and TPM is the software which can be sued for executing the process
of installation. The façade can be set by using the combination of the triangular and aluminum
glass panels.

Process of optimization, testing, and evaluation or the validation
Process of evaluation:
The evaluation process involves the testing of the issues and the entire working of the AAMI
Park project. the evaluation of the project can be done on the basis to maintain the feasibility
through which the projected weakness can be detected easily and which can be removed on a
timely basis. There are multiple types of workshops will be held for the stakeholders through
which they can understand the problems and detect on the time of spot. The used items involved
in this project are lighting, lighting based on pitch, trays of cables and drainage or pipes on the
roof. This also includes the evaluation of the different shells based on the structure of the roof.
The evaluation of the process can be used for proper designing of the pitch lightening. The
project approval can be getting by using the software based on the model of parametric.
Process of testing and the validation:
In this type of evaluation, the designing of the roof can be tested and the entire structure of the
roof can be designed by using the 3D model. A parametric model can be used for testing the
structure. The parametric model can test all the configurations based on geometric through which
the final geometry can be received easily for the construction purpose. This purpose uses 3-D
CAD models.
Process of optimization:
Two software is used for this purpose which includes the in-house optimization software and the
along with the software used for the analysis of Strand7. The efficient design with the perfect
geometry can be determined by using the roof shells of 24 models which include the several
numbers of heights and curvatures (LSAA 2018). There is a total of 4156 roof members required
through which the size based on the roof structure can find out. It includes the number of steps
that are:
 Generation of the model of 3-D parametric.
 The nodes and initial members are imported by using the strand7 software.
9

 Analysis of the stress level.
 Generation of the alternatives based on 3-D geometry.
 Importing of the revised node.
 Revised mode analysis.
 The efficiency of the geometry structure can be tested.
 Geometry is chosen.
 Analysis of the final geometry.

Evaluation
This stadium roof concept was designed by the Cox architects through which the steel used can
be decreased out by the amount of approximately 50%. The design team is well developed and
works on 3-D modeling to design the initials of the roof based on the virtual 3-D environment.
The testing and optimization of the roof can be done by using the model of 3-D parametric with
the 3-D environment.
This process can efficiently deliver the perfect structure of the roof. Through this report, the
detail design or the preliminary design steps can be generated for the construction of the AAMI
Park. This stadium helps the youth to show their talents and through this, the design of AAMI
Park can be used perfectly for the next generation. This park provides the perfect and newly
benchmark of the projects based on the stadium.
