Specific Requirements of Membrane Structures
This paper is focused on the specific aspects of designing membrane structures that have specific requirements, such as form-finding and cutting pattern generation. These topics are the focus of many research works, and many methods have been proposed to achieve the desired results. However, in this paper these issues will be discussed more from a practical than a theoretical point of view. The paper will be followed by examples that will complement the topic under discussion and show the special attention required during the design process.
Aluminum Design | Graphical Display of Mode Shape for Lateral-Torsional Buckling Analysis
Did you use the eigenvalue solver of the add-on to determine the critical load factor within the stability analysis? In this case, you can then display the governing mode shape of the object to be designed as a result.

- What method is applied in the RF‑/DYNAM Pro - Equivalent Loads add-on module?
- It is not possible to enter a nonlinear stress-strain curve. The diagram is initially displayed correctly, but then an error message appears saying that the positive values have to be entered only in ascending order. How can I avoid this message?
-
My beam has a continuous lateral support and therefore lateral torsional buckling (LTB) is not a concern. How do I define the effective length?
- How do I create a user-defined fabric?
- How do I consider the strength of weld-affected zone for aluminum?
