Pattern Types

Uncategorized

Patterning is one of the basic tasks of designing tensile membrane structures. It is also one of three modules of WinTess software shown in top bar. The usual way to transform a warped curved surface in flat strips (patterns) is doing by triangulation. It is the easiest and most used way. In another post in…

Multi-geodesic Lines

Uncategorized

The most common method of creating patterns on a membrane involves drawing geodesic lines on the membrane. Justification of the layout of the geodesic lines is beyond the scope of this text. Although the geodesic lines can be drawn freely to form patterns of any shape and position, it is common that the route of…
