Purchase or rent a textile structure: framed, tensile or air supported

Meliar Design has been involved in the development of light weight structures for over 20 years. Initially writing custom software for the aerodynamics, development and patterning of paragliders, then developing that software for use in the architectural tensile structures field, we have experience in software and hardware for the design, testing and production phases.


Our products work inside standard CAD packages, such as AutoCAD, Rhino and DesignCad 3D. This enables the user to leverage his existing skills with a specialized add on package. The package can be series released, such as MPanel; or bespoke developed for a specific customer.

Our tensile fabric design software, MPanel, is the easiest to use tensioned fabric software on the market. MPanel works completely inside AutoCAD as an add-on toolbar and includes functions from your initial relaxation to the final production stages, and then sends your patterns directly to your plotter, cutter, or grid pattern.

Key work areas include:

• MPanel, the tensile fabric structure design package.

• Paraglider design, airborne testing, and production software.

• Hang Glider test rig instrumentation and analysis.

• Traction Kite development and production aids.
