Formfinding and physics simulation of bending active tent

The calculation takes a reduction of the 1D mesh- curves as springs (using Hooks' law) and the undirected angle deformation of the poly lines (subdivided boundary curves) into account. The result showed a relationship of bending strength to membrane pretension of factor: 0.004, with a maximal displacement of: 0.202 m, for the irregular ~100 m³ envelope.
