Option "Show Preliminary Form-Finding" in Shortcut Menu

Automatic Preliminary Form-Finding of Membrane Surfaces

Activating the "Show Preliminary Form-Finding" option in the shortcut menu leads to an automatic preliminary form-finding according to the saved form-finding properties when you change the structure of membrane surfaces. This interactive graphics mode is based on the force density method.
