Abstract

The present paper represents a novel method of creating algorithms to accelerate and optimize the complex modeling of membrane details for designers. The Rhino® Grasshopper® software is used for the work. A set of parametric membrane models were developed with robust functionality. According to the typical test cases, the new method is a proper tools to simplify the manual modeling of complex membrane geometries. The goal of the present paper is to validate its consistency with the actual processes of engineering design and to clarify the potential for extensive industrial usage. The present research is based on the former Membrane Detail Project (http://www.membranedetail.com) of the authors. An extensive collection of tensile membrane details had been analyzed, presented and published on the website in 2012.
