Rhino-Membrane

Feature list of Rhino-Membrane

• Form finding based on the updated reference strategy using the latest finite element technology
• Membrane elements for form finding (quadrilaterals and triangles)
• Isotropic and anistropic prestress definition (membrane elements)
• Accurate minimal surface generation
• Pressure option for form finding of "soap bubbles" and inflated cushions (membrane elements)
• Cable elements for form finding (real phyiscal prestress as well as force density)
• Elastic cable elements (e.g. for support structures, space trusses, etc.)
• Stress plots of the actual membrane forces after form finding
• Display of reaction forces
• Easy combination of different structural elements (e.g. to create ridge and valley cables, inflated cushion with supporting net, hybrid structures)
