An isotropic pre-stressed catenoid with membrane elements is used to perform form-finding using KRATOS (StructuralMechanicsApplication).
System of the catenoid [1]
The radius of the initial cylindric geoemtry is 10.00[m] and the height is varied from 12.00[m] to 14.00[m]. Both results are presented in the following.
While the 12.00[m] high cylinder results in a catenoid,
the result of the 14.00[m] high cylinder is described by two plane surfaces (minimal area).
