FORMERLY-Math code is commented in order to explain its functionality to the final user.
This suite is an example of codes developed to conduct the constrained form-finding of unilateral membranes that can be applied for the design of new shell structures or for the static assessment of masonry vaults in the frame of Limit Analysis.
The underlying results are reported in the following publications:
