Reply To: FSI analysis of an inflatable membrane under wind loads

[Enrique Ortega]

Hello,

thanks for your reply. I haven't tried that solution yet because the structural model is complex (see a picture below) and I would like to know if there is another possibility to avoid modifying the geometry. Also, I did a test with a simple model and I'm not sure that two half-thickness membranes each joined by contact will behave like the original membrane. It is important for our model not only the displacement but also the stresses.

I would like to know if there is a possibility to apply fluid and pressure loads on both faces of the membrane, or a way to do it without resorting to the solution I mentioned in the document.

Thanks in advance!
