From the bellow drawings, it is seen that the modification of the length of the ribs influences the way of cell openness to be viewed.
Obviously, when the depth of the ribs increases, the cells have more depth. This may serve as the shield or the sun collector system in the walls.
Furthermore, the number of division on the circular direction influences both to the dimension of the cell and the way that is seen from the exterior.

From this sheet, It is seen that the number and the position of the training points affect the skin features.
Thus, more the number of imputs is set up, the more regular the skin features are.

Obviously, when the depth of the ribs increases, the cells have more depth. This may serve as the shield or the sun collector system in the walls.
Furthermore, no needs to mention, the increase of the divisions on the circular direction influences the size of the honeycomb and so openness of the cells.

>>>Comparative studies about the skin features as per the number of the training points.
From the bellow drawings, it is seen that the skin features change as per the concentration of the imput points.
Thus, it is made clear that the more imputs concentrate on one part, the more deformed that part influenced is.
