Tensile Fabric Structures International Company

The demo of Kurvenbau lightweight structure design software Tess3D showing how the tensile fabric structures design process. How to develop the fabric structure from sketch to 3D structures. As part of the analysis where the sun shade, rain load, snow load and wind load serve as a important factor in the design development process of [...]

Form finding in tensile fabric structures is the process finding a balance and reasonable geometry and suitable shape for a design because the fabric membrane is flexible.
Membrane used in fabric structures are structural element. Due to the fabric used in the tensile fabric structures the structural membrane under went changes of shape and form under [...]
