Modeling Membrane

With the defined membrane boundaries, the membrane can be modeled now. For this, a quadrangle surface should be created using the Quadrangle Surface button in the toolbar. Set the "Membrane" stiffness type for this surface.

The reference thickness of the membrane is set automatically by selecting the Glass-PTFE Type III material in the library.

Tip

To easily find the material, select the "Fabric" material type in the "Filter" section.

The membrane surface can now be positioned between the boundary lines, as shown in Image Positioning Membrane.

To obtain the entire membrane, select the surfaces you have just defined with the associated members and mirror them by clicking the Mirror button in the toolbar.

In this way, the membrane is completely modeled, as shown in Image Membrane.
