), and import that data back into ixForten 4000 for a precise non-linear structural analysis. 3. Fabric Patterning (Cutting Patterns)
form-finding, structural analysis, and cutting pattern generation
The software provides a comprehensive suite of tools tailored to the unique challenges of lightweight, flexible structures that rely on tension rather than compression.
It accounts for material compensation (stretching properties of the fabric under prestress) to ensure that when the flat pieces are sewn or welded together and pulled tight on-site, they perfectly match the engineered 3D shape. 🌬️ The Power of CFD and ixForten Integration
Where the ixforten 4000 truly excels is sustained write performance. Many NAS units slow down once their cache fills up. Not this one. We ran a 10-hour continuous write of raw 8K footage (approximately 45TB total), and the write speeds never dipped below 3,000 MB/s. The thermal management is exceptional—the hottest drive never exceeded 48°C.
