This overview paper summarizes the status of design and analysis of small and large, complex, flexible and adaptable industrial membrane structures in architecture, automotive and space industries, with the numerical tools developed and implemented by the authors and their affiliations. Examples from aero-space membranes, airbag simulations used by car makers, and from impact biomechanics, enlarge the field of application beyond structural engineering.
