I am trying to simulate the tight fabric covering over this aircraft turtle deck. I want to see what the different effects are for different stringer placement, although I suspect the stringers are about right where they are.
The lofted surface on top represents an aluminium top skin. I can change that too if the aesthetics are not good.
The area I need help with is the area inside the blue. ie Spine, top longeron, and the transition into the rudder.
What workflow would give me a result?
Hello- there is a block - the frame - missing in the file, is that crucial for what you are asking? I am not sure I really undestand what you are looking for - is there a reference image?
Hi Hugo - I am niot sure if I have got the problem by the right handle but is something along these lines what you are shooting for? Sonerai Turtle Deck_Maybe.3dm (336.9 KB)
Hello Pascal.
Thank you for your efforts.
I am trying to achieve a surface that represents the fabric covering over the frame.
Imagine trying to cover it in cling wrap and perhaps you will get the idea.
I couldn’t get drape to work because of the open frame, but perhaps it is my workflow that requires attention.
Kind regards,
Hugo.
Hi Hugo - I guess it is hard to know how the fabric will behave when stretched on the curved section and the straight ones at the same time but perhaps more like this?
