Four point tent using rhino-membrane


Rhino-Membrane Tutorial 1 – Four point tent from Johannes Linhard on Vimeo.

This is the first tutorial video I’ve made for the form finding program “Rhino-Membrane”. It will demonstrate you how to create a simple four point tent. This tensile structure measures about 10 x 10 x 5 meters. The isotropic membrane prestress is set to a value of 1 kN/m. The edge cables have a prescribed cable force of 11 kN.You can increase the cable force to decrease the sag of the edge cable (if you decrease the cable force, the sag will enlarge).

RhinoMembrane 1.22

Gerry D’Anza has released a new version of RhinoMembrane, an FEM form finder Rhino plug-in with options for pneumatics, trusses, and cables that makes it able to find any real equilibrated surface with tension or tensegrity system.

RhinoMembrane v1.22 adds support for tensegrity structures and mixed formfinding with URS (Update Reference Strategy ) and FDM ( Force Density Method ) plus a few new options like plot of reaction forces.
