Tensile structure / form finding foftware
(OP)
Does anyone have recommendations on tensile structure software? I am thinking about fabric and cablenet structures.
The free packages including the Rhino plugins seem to have capabilities which are only marginally less than the very expensive commercial packages like Membrane.
We run Strand for FE and Rhino already.

A guy from Birdair spun off a number of years ago to sell Membrane. Its very efficient and integrated for the formfinding to analysis to drawings I think, and I know a number of people who swear its the greatest thing ever. But I view it more as an efficiency tool for tensile structure contractors who do it all day long. It also costs $40,000. There are some German packages which do a similar thing at a similar price.
