Ever wondered how to model and analyze an air-supported structure in RFEM 6❓
We’ve just released a free webinar that shows you exactly how to do it - from creating the form-found shape to defining construction stages and performing the final structural analysis.
Air-supported structures are increasingly used to cover large open spaces - from sports halls and tennis courts to seasonal ice rinks and event venues. One of the key challenges in designing such structures lies in the form-finding process. The geometry isn’t predefined; it emerges from the equilibrium between the membrane’s internal prestress and the pressure load. The correct shape ensures structural integrity and optimal performance under external actions like wind 🌬️ or snow ❄️.
With the Form-Finding add-on in RFEM 6, engineers can accurately model air-supported membranes, define the required prestress conditions, and simulate real-world behavior throughout different construction stages. ✅
