SAMCEF Mecano is a general implicit non-linear software developed by Samtech. The paper describes several improvements that have been made in SAMCEF Mecano concerning the analysis of inflatable and membrane structures. Most of these developments have been carried out in the frame of an ESTEC contract (PASTISS project). Several examples illustrate the different developments.
