Claim:
1. A method of designing and manufacturing a structure comprising: determining positions of at least three nodes on a structure; forming a first set of webs onto a first side of the structure, wherein the first set of webs comprises first linear ribs that extend orthogonally from the first side to define a first height, and wherein the webs of the first set of webs connect with each other at positions that coincide with the positions of the nodes thereby defining a first pocket region; forming a second set of webs within the first pocket region, wherein the second set of webs comprises second linear ribs that extend orthogonally from the first side of the structure to define a second height, and wherein the second height is less than the first height and the second linear ribs connect with each other to define a second pocket region; and forming a third set of webs within the second pocket region, wherein the third set of webs comprises third linear ribs that extend orthogonally from the first side of the structure to define a third height that is less than the second height, and wherein a third linear rib of the third set of webs has a longitudinal axis and joins a second linear rib of the second set of webs such that the longitudinal axis bisects the second linear rib into equal parts.
