In this paper basic principles of a numerical computation of fluid‐structure interaction will be discussed. Starting point are standard software systems for the simulation of fluid dynamics and structural dynamics. These program systems are adequately extended and coupled in a partitioned solution approach. Results of the presented methods will be compared in detail with wind tunnel experiments for a lightweight membrane construction. (© 2014 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
