Yes I have access to Forten 2000.
I need a model for a tent like the one in the picture below.
I have 4 columns at a distance of 20m x 49m.
I have 2 or 3 or 4 arches between the columns as required. For now I don't know the required/best spacing. I've read somewhere it's about 8 m.
The height about 20m, according to fabric and minimum required.
It doesn't have to be a built one, just an example of input and output. I have no experience in working with Oasys GSA or Forten so the input for me looks very difficult and strange compared to what I'm used to Sap, Etabs, Axis, Advance Design... . Also I have no experience in tent design, I'm afraid I might miss something.
At first I need an analysis model of the fabric, a form finding.
After an analysis model with the fabric and loads to get the design forces for the arches, columns and cables.
The big unknown is the fabric design+cables, I have no issues with steel design.
I'll carry out the design of arches and columns in a different software, here those can be modeled as single frames or joints, it's not clear to me what type of objects are supported.
Thank you
