✨ Feature Highlight: Nonlinear Material Behavior for Prestressed Fabrics ✨
Our "Orthotropic | Fabric | Nonlinear Elastic (Surfaces)" material model in RFEM 6 enables you to simulate complex behaviors in prestressed fabric membranes through an RVE (representative microstructure-solid element) model. By incorporating fabric geometry at the microstructure level, this model accurately reflects the transversal strain effects under various force conditions in the membrane.
This feature allows for a precise and reliable analysis of fabric structures, enhancing accuracy for innovative architectural designs.
