In this section, we’ll bring together our 3D solver with what we’ve learned about form-finding using Blender’s simulation tools. We’ll focus on the modelling and analysis of a hyperbolic paraboloid cablenet structure. For the structure itself, we’ll draw inspiration from a fabric membrane structure by Frei Otto from 1955. 

This will give us a good opportunity to discuss the relationship between form-finding and pre-tension. Again, this will be another good demonstration of the typical modelling-analysis-visualisation workflow.
