The RF‑FORM‑FINDING add‑on module can be activated in the ‘Edit Model - General Data’ window, ‘Options’ tab. By activating the module, a new RF‑FORM‑FINDING load case is created and an additional menu appears in the main program, allowing for the definition of prestress conditions for membrane and cable elements.
- Planar and geodesic cutting lines
- Flattening of double-curved surface parts of tensioned membranes or pneumatic cushions
- Definition of cutting patterns by using boundary lines which are not required to be connected
- Sophisticated flattening based on the minimum energy theory
- Welding and boundary allowances
- Uniform or linear compensation in warp and weft direction
- Possibility of different compensations for boundary lines
- Adaptable data organisation (any additional modification of input data is considered up to the final "weld")
- Graphic display of cutting patterns
- Statistical information about each cutting pattern (width, length, size)
- Option to automatically generate cutting patterns from cells
- How can I define a material allowance at the edge of a cutting pattern?
- How is it possible to create the cutting pattern geometry for a decorative sticker on a biaxially curved membrane roof?
- How are the properties of the elasticity and shear modulus of a membrane fabric with the usual force/length syntax transformed into the general force/surface syntax to be entered in RFEM?
- Why does the direction of a cutting pattern edge line in the support area change abruptly?
- How do I recognize that the flattening process in RF‑CUTTING‑PATTERN has found the convergence?
- How can I smooth continuous boundary lines of membrane cuttings?
- By which length is the boundary line compensation distributed in the surface?
- Why is the compensated cutting pattern length of a membrane surface incompatible with the defined compensation?
- How do I model a tent roof with two cone tips?
- I would like to calculate and design "temporary structures." What do I need for this?
