RF-FORM-FINDING

Tensile Membrane Structures

Form-Finding and Cutting Patterns

It seems that the members stay not deformed after my RF‑FORM‑FINDING calculation. What did I wrong?

Answer

The deformation of members is shown as single colored lines by default. Please show them as colored cross-sections. It is also always a good idea to decrease the Display factor for the deformation to 1.0, otherwise the results might be misinterpreted.
