How to Share Caedium CFD Results With ixCube 4-10
Submitted by Richard Smith on April 16, 2015 - 10:31
ixCube 4-10 is a comprehensive design tool for tensile structures, also known as membranes. By sharing your membranes with Caedium Professional you can perform Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to determine wind loads (e.g., pressure coefficient) and then export those results from Caedium and import them back into ixCube 4-10 for further stress and shape analysis. Watch the video for instructions on the process.
