Soap Film 2D

Definition

Name

The name is only used as a convenient way of identifying a form-finding property.

Stress in x

The constant stress in x direction of the 2D elements that use this property in soap-film form-finding analysis. The Young’s modulus of these elements will be set to zero in the form-finding analysis in order to achieve constant in-plane force.

Stress in y

The constant stress in y direction of the 2D elements that use this property in soap-film form-finding analysis. The Young’s modulus of these elements will be set to zero in the form-finding analysis in order to achieve constant in-plane force.
