Due to their easy‐to‐shape and light‐weight characteristics, membranous structures are common in modern civil engineering. As all outside buildings they are exposed to wind loads and consequently undergo fluid‐structure interactions (FSI). In order to dimension these membranous constructions and to avoid the damage of the material by FSI, numerical and experimental investigations are necessary. The current paper presents the simulation part of complementary experimental and numerical investigations relying on an advanced numerical simulation methodology.
