Bachelor's Thesis | Design and Analysis of Tensile Membrane Roof

Exciting new bachelor's thesis project! 🎓

We are glad to share that Luis Miguel Maldonado Guillén has completed his bachelor's thesis on the Design and Analysis of a Tensile Membrane Roof for the iconic Málaga Bullring 🏛️🐂, using our RFEM 6 software.

The project focuses on the creation of a lightweight roof structure, incorporating various diameters of Pfeifer cables, circular CHS sections, and PVC membranes. The structural design and analysis were carried out using RFEM 6 with the Form-Finding add-on, supported by RWIND 3 for wind load calculations.

Additionally, several RFEM 6 add-ons were used for comprehensive design checks, including:

🔹 Steel Design 🏗️

🔹 Structure Stability 🔒

🔹 Stress-Strain Analysis 📊

This thesis highlights how RFEM 6 continues to support innovative and efficient structural design in complex projects like this!
