Tensile Membrane Structures and CFD Wind Load Simulation

The new generation of 3D FEA software is used for the structural analysis of members, surfaces, and solids.

The Form-Finding add-on finds the optimal shape of members subjected to axial forces and tension-loaded surface models. The shape is determined by the equilibrium between the member axial force or the membrane stress and the existing boundary conditions.
