UPDATE: Some of the files had issues. After running then through Netfabb's repair site I've uploaded the fixed files. These are common OGEL building bricks made with the shape generator function in Autodesk Inventor. I specified the critical geometry (top knobs and bottom) that had to be preserved for functionality, then I applied a compression load to the top of the brick, and told the software to reduce the mass by 35-55%. The resulting shapes show the paths where the load transfers through the brick, or the areas of the brick that support the majority of the load. These are not only unique in shape but can be educational too. Enjoy!
