Corny Littmann, former president of FC St. Pauli football club:
„To find security in the insecurity - that encourages creativity.”
source: NDR Talkshow
Be honest: In the complex system of a roof system remains always a pinch of uncertainty in
the concept development...
... which allows us to be creative.

photo prototype result simulation
Comparison theory – practice
Folie 3820121012_publication.pptx
The following points can be tested or derived by help of textile simulation:
- fabric lengths
- tension / strain
- fabric connections
- frame elasticities
- intake curves
- closing forces
- seam curves
- dimensioning ropes
- influence of the rear window
- narrow points in the storage
- straps
- pads
� The developers is given a safe statement to functionality of their roof concepts - even
before the first functional prototype is built.
Summary - benefits for the developer
