User Reviews

I have been using Membrane (NDN) for about 3 years now. I have used quite a few different fabric structure software packages over the years, including the most expensive ones. NDN is easily the best of the lot. I think because it was written by someone who actually uses it to engineer real projects, it is designed with speed, ease of use and convenience in mind.

Joe Schedlbauer - FTL Studio

NDN has been written by a tension membrane engineer specifically for the tension membrane industry. It has been written from “scratch” with direct input from membrane engineers regarding “wants and desires”. The great thing about NDN is that many of the strengths of other software suites (not only tensile membrane programs but also 3D framing analysis and CAD programs) have been amalgamated into this one program.
