ixForTen 4000

Tensile structures Design, Analysis and Patterning

ixForTen 4000 is a system developed by Gerry D'Anza for

the design, structural analysis and pattern making of tensiles,

membranes and cable nets.

After 20 years of work thousands of tensile structures have

been built world wide using our system and we are proud to

say that the community is growing day by day.

Our slogan is quite simple "Your success is our success" since

we believe in teamwork and strong relationship between users

of a software and who develops it.

20 Years research and development

250 Companies worldwide

2500 structures

ixForTen 4000 è un sistema sviluppato da Gerry D’Anza per il

progetto, l’analisi strutturale e la produzione di tensostrutture e reti

di funi.

Nei 20 anni di sviluppo sono state costruite centinaia di

tensostrutture in tutto il mondo impiegando il nostro sistema e

siamo orgogliosi di dire che la comunità di utenti cresce di giorno

in giorno.

Il nostro slogan è semplice “il Vostro successo è il nostro

successo”, noi crediamo nel lavoro di gruppo e nei rapporti tra gli

utenti di un software e chi lo sviluppa.

Rhino membrane Rhino Membrane is a powerful

plugin for Rhinoceros able to

relax any kind of mesh following

the rules of prestressed a

membranes and minimal

surfaces.

The user has to fix non movable

mesh nodes or boundary edges,

assign desired pretension with

internal pressure (for pneumatic

cushions) and ask for the final

result .

Simple and one on of the most

powerful form-finding tools

available on market.

Developed by Gerry D'Anza &

Johannes Linhard with help &

support from Prof.Bletzinger over

URS theory,

RhinoMembrane gives accurate

stress field results.

New features : Tensegrity and

Force Density method

Tensile structure roof in Sambil Barquisimeto mall Client

The central hall (230x430 feet) of Sambil Barquisimeto fits the contour of the guitar-like shape which prevails in the image design of the mall. Six poles and the central “spine”: – 28 feet wide, glass-covered truss, (which originally included also a circular steel framed base for a geodesic cupola in structural glass) – support a cable net system that anchors the whole structure to the concrete roof. A PVC membrane teflon coated (Ferrari) spans on both sides of the spine. In the original project, transparent ETFE cones covered the connection to the poles.

Poly-Ned placed a tensile structure, which is an architectural addition to the new main square at the TU Twente. This tensile structure of 900 m2 is not just a dry run but also symbolically connects the various buildings of the campus together. A tensile structure is the name for a tensioned fabric in the shape of a canopy. Poly-Ned designs, manufactures and assembles these objects themselves. Own engineers, draftsmen and technicians take care of each other the entire process of drawing fray to tightening the last nut.

Contractors

Over the courtyard of the Librije's Hotel in Zwolle Poly-Ned realised a cover / tensioned structure. The square is thus functional throughout the year. The unique feature of this structure is that it can be easily (de)mounted. The structure can be tensioned with the help of an impressive hydraulic cylinder (length 8 m!), which is sunk a centrally placed ornament. In this ornament, the whole structure, membrane and liners, are stored. The historic building - the former women's prison in Zwolle - which Jonnie and Therese Boer have established their Librije Hotel.

In December 2002 there was a big flank eruption on Monte Etna. South Vent had become a giant cinder cone, one of the biggest features of Etna. It fed a voluminous lava flow which in those days damaged the buildings near Rifugio Sapienza. The project consists of construction of the new shelter, with a laminated wood structure and a cross at the base isolation system.

The Company TSI has its origin in research and development that a group of 4 architects did in the field of lightweight structures and membrane, since 1995. This experience has been brought in TSI in 2005. The objective of founders was to create an efficient and dynamic organization within the professional building industry.

High quality services and professional skills are the basis of our work. Gerry D'Anza, co-founder of the group, has developed a system for tensile structure design, nonlinear static analysis and production named ForTen used today by 250 companies worldwide, with which the team has many collaborations and joint ventures. At today the team has designed, engineered and made supervision for many special structures worldwide.

We work in the field of Architecture & Civil Engineering, with a wide range of applications, with research and development of new software tools, to reach always high quality results in acceptable time. We have reached a wide client base and partnerships with companies, universities and professionals worldwide, and We are able to deliver accurate and professional solutions from concept design to full engineering and construction. We believe that, at any scale, the quality of each single part is a must in the success of everything: for this reason effort and research for new solutions are always part of our work.. TSI works in conformity of the ISO 9001:2000 standards and is going to get certified by an international organization.

L'obiettivo dei fondatori è stato quello di creare un'organizzazione efficiente e dinamica nel settore delle costruzioni . Servizi di alta qualità e professionalità sono alla base del nostro lavoro. Gerry D'Anza, co-fondatore del gruppo, ha sviluppato un sistema per la progettazione, l’ analisi statica non lineare e la produzione di tensostrutture, di nome Forten utilizzato oggi da 250 aziende in tutto il mondo, con le quali il team ha numerose collaborazioni e joint venture. Ad oggi il team ha ideato, progettato e diretto i lavori di costruzione di un gran numero di strutture speciali in tutto il mondo. Lavoriamo nel campo dell’Architettura e dell’Ingegneria Civile, con una vasta gamma di applicazioni, con la ricerca e sviluppo di nuovi strumenti software, per raggiungere sempre risultati di alta qualità in tempi accettabili Abbiamo raggiunto una vasta base di clienti e partnership con aziende, università e professionisti di tutto il mondo, e siamo in grado di fornire soluzioni accurate e professionali dal concept design alla progettazione completa e la costruzione. Crediamo che, a qualsiasi scala, la qualità di ogni singola parte è necessaria per il successo dell’insieme: per questo motivo lo sforzo e la ricerca di nuove soluzioni sono sempre parte del nostro lavoro. TSI opera in conformità alle norme ISO 9001:2000 ed è in corso di certificazione da parte di un organismo internazionale.
