Computational fluid dynamics, usually abbreviated as CFD, is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows. Computers are used to perform the calculations required to simulate the interaction of liquids and gases with surfaces defined by boundary conditions. With high-speed supercomputers, better solutions can be achieved. Our main interest in CFD is the interaction between wind and membrane to evaluate Pressure values, Cp values and optmize the shape. ixForten 4000 has a unique feature to its main competitors in the direction connection to a CFD application for computer fluid dynamic analysis. Within this software we are able to simulate the wind behaviour over the membrane surface and calculate...

More than 20 years of experience makes ixForten 4000 one of the most complete solutions in the field of tensile structure engineeringixForten 4000 Structural Analysis is based on a non-linear FEA kernel accurate and relaiable. Our FEM engine is second to None and not only for membrane structures but also for conventional steel ,concrete and wood buildings. FEM library : 2 node membrane link ( special element for membrane FDM meshes) : only tension 2 node cable : only tension – non-linear 2 node truss ( pin jointed element ) : tension ,compression – linear and non-linear 2 node gap : only compression – non-linear 2 node beam element : linear & non-linear behaviour , axial,shear,bending stiffness (Reissner-Timoshenko theory) 3-4...
