    Simulating membrane of kite

    I've played around with the settings of the constraint. Don't really know what's used in practice. Currently my settings look lie this (master is surface, slave is node set).https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9f6d226b-df73-4e41-b681-7094a5892882&file=Knipsel.PNG

    Simulating membrane of kite

    I've now partitioned the front part of the membrane (where it is connected to the tube). I made the front part stiffer (x 10) and increased the thickness (x 10). I also tried to make the tube less stiff (x 1/10). I managed to go to a slightly thinner membrane structure but still nowhere near the...

    Simulating membrane of kite

    Hi! I want to simulate the structure of a flexible kite. It's made out of a solid tube connected to a membrane. I'm struggling with obtaining a successful simulation with realistic kite thickness (0.08 mm). When using thicknesses of that are much larger, I get a solution. The error I'm getting...
