The Velum: modelling and simulation videos

The velum process simulation is fully performed with the Abaqus software, the non-linear finite elements analysis solution from SIMULIA. The realistic 3D animation of the cloth and cables strains during the spread and roll back phases, as well as the computation of forces required at any time, achieved to validate that the mechanism imagined by Mr. CHAMBON could indeed work.
