Save design time and money with MPanel

MPanel software is a comprehensive set of powerful design and production tools that assists the user with the design, refinement and patterning of industrial and architectural fabrics.It acts as a floating toolbar inside AutoCAD release 14-2005 and is very intuitive and user friendly.

MPanel was developed to assist tensile fabric structure designers, but works equally well on other projects, such as tents, awnings and inflatable structures.

MPanel incorporates a set of design tools into a user friendly interface to assist tensile fabric designers. MPanel works inside AutoCAD as a floating tool bar, and manipulates your AutoCAD drawing from the initial relaxation of a mesh to the final production panels for you to send to your plotter or cutter.

MPanel is a very flexible tool, used in different ways on different jobs, but a typical job could go through the following steps:

  • Start AutoCAD and MPanel.
  • Draw the model in AutoCAD using specified entities.
  • Relax the model using MPanel.
  • Produce Visualizations for client approval.
  • Use MPanel to estimate a materials bill.
  • Do a rough stress estimation using MPanel.
  • Create the panels using MPanel.
  • Use MPanel to compensate the panels.
  • Use MPanel to apply a seam allowance.
  • Productionise the panels using MPanel.
  • Output the panels.

By simplifying the design process you will also save time. Complex surface designs that previously required hours of CAD time can now be done in much shorter periods.
Use MPanel for the design of:

  • Tension structures
  • Lightweight inflatable's
  • Tents & awnings
  • Fabric roofs
  • Patterning
  • and more...

MPanel v12.5
Our latest MPanel release, v12.5, is full of exciting new features.
MPanel v12.5 new features include:

  • You can now increase the mesh density by specifying nsurf and msurf values. This allows you to easily
    make a high definition model and also helps with direct paneling from a mesh.
  • You can now place markers for graphics, cutouts, etc on your drawing using our new option to draw the internal
    grid on panels. These markers are carried through all of the production phases.
  • When designing and producing hypars and triangular frame tents, you can now create triangular panels. Seam
    allowances, compensation, production, and output are all carried through correctly.
  • New output and marking features include additional layers to better control output for plotters, slits for keyhole
    reliefs in catenary edges, and new seaming options, all resulting in significant productivity improvements.
  • Improved handling of paneling distortions at high shear
