Bending stress of a bending active structure

Plug Ins Kiwi
1

Hello,

I have 2 questions about Kiwi3D

  1. I want to show the result of the bending stress of my bending active system, but I cant choose this on the value list:

  2. Is it posible to connect the bending active beam with the membrane, so that the tensions influence each other or do I have to calculate this separately by using the result of the beam as a pre-tensioning force for the membrane? I couldnt any contribution to solving this problem.

Hey,
regarding
1: I don’t know why but it worked for me when plugging in a new value list.
2: Yes you can connect them and do a form finding analysis (+ structural analysis). Just use the prestress properties or a reference element for the bending-active beam.
