Form Finding
Form finding of a tensile structure is one of the basic tasks in the design of tensile structures, those made of membranes, cables, etc. Form-finding module is initial step to find the desired form to be created. ...

Patterning
Membrane surfaces are almost never flat. In fact they should never be. These are warped surfaces. These surfaces can be classified into two groups: - Synclastic surfaces They have the same curvature at all points. ...
