Free • - Sailcut CAD is a sail design and plotting software which allows you to design and visualise your own sail and compute the accurate development of all panels in flat sheets. • - The Surface Evolver is 'an interactive program for the study of surfaces shaped by surface tension and other energies'. • - Nothing to do with tents, but some great cut-out and stick-together models of the 13 Archimedean semi-regular polyhedra. Events Clique's 3D Event Designer is web-based 2D and 3D interactive floor plan software for event professionals. Looking for best 3D modeling software/3D design software? Check out our 2018 guide to the 30 best 3D software tools for model makers, including 15 free 3D modeling software tools. Tent Design Software• - A little tool for creating patterns to make the segments you need to assemble a sphere. It does it entirely with image files so you can turn an atlas into a globe etc. • - The New Jersey Institute of Technology have a small fortran package for patterning. It doesn't seem to work, but maybe you'll have more luck than me. • - Puzzles with polyhedra and numbers. In this site one can print copies of polyhedron puzzles (for non-commercial purposes only) and one can read several mathematical articles on the subject. • - Vinicius is a Brazilian engineer developing software for shell and tension structures. • - Some AutoCAD lisp routines for manipulating polyface meshes, slicing and flattening them. Non Free • - Is an initial design software for membranes, this uses a back-end related to EasyNT. • - A tool for flattening 3d surfaces to cut out and assemble paper Pepakura models. • - A sketchup plugin for designing membrane structures. • - The new Kurvenbau lightweight structure design software Tess3D is under development. • - Ligno3D Designer is a CAD program that specialises in complex polyhedral objects. Click a button for 'unwrapped' 2D plans of all faces, with precise dimensions, diagonals and dihedral angles. • - TouchCAD 3.0 is a combined 3D modeling and unfolding program focusing on the ability to generate complex 3D shapes and converting them into physically buildable models. • - Not yet available, though it appears to feature: Tensile membranes design stages, from conception to realization. Analysis of prestressed nets and cables. Formfinding of double-curved structures. Formfinding software for tensile structures design. Surface fitting for tensile Structures models. • - MPanel incorporates a set of design tools into a user friendly interface to assist tensile fabric designers. MPanel works inside AutoCAD as a floating tool bar, and manipulates your AutoCAD drawing from the initial relaxation of a mesh to the final production panels for you to send to your plotter or cutter. • - Tentnology in the states, sell a program called 'Compad' for tent design/patterning. • - From germany, Technet produce 'Easy' 'formfinding, non-linear load analysis and cutting pattern generation for membrane structures'. As well as a cheaper package called Isimem/Cadisi for conceptual design. This software is based on various University work from Stuttgart and Berlin. There is a demo version to download on their site. • - This is written by me (Bruno), Patterner uses geometrical form-finding to produce surfaces for pattern generation, you can download a demo version from this link. Free 3d Outdoor Design Software• - From New Zealand, Surface is a program that allows you to create your 3D tent membrane shape and then works out the shape of the panels that can be cut out and joined together to form that 3D shape. • - This is a suite of programs, there is a demo download available. Software includes 'WinCable - Geometric non-linear analysis of cablenet roofs.
