Next Gerry imported the Wavefront geometry into Caedium, configured the flow volume and physics, and then ran the CFD simulation.Ĭaedium v4 Membrane CFD Simulation: StreamlinesĬaedium v4 Membrane CFD Simulation: Surface Pressure Coefficient (Cp) Membrane Displacement Calculated by ixForten 4000Model: courtesy of SobreSaliente Ltda, Cp data source: Caedium ProfessionalĪs an example of the new capability, Gerry D'Anza, ixForten 4000 developer, first exported the original membrane, courtesy of SobreSaliente Ltda, from ixForten 4000 using the Wavefront file format (.obj). This exciting development will allow ixForten 4000 users to perform non-linear stress analysis to better determine membrane displacement with more precise wind pressure loads than previously available, leading to more cost efficient structures and supports. In the next version of Caedium you will be able to perform a CFD simulation of a tensile membrane structure and then export surface pressure coefficient (Cp) data for structural analysis in ixForten 4000.
