The conical roof and the rings that carry it.
RoofForge designs the conical roof that closes a bin or silo: the panels, the radial rib substructure, and the eave and peak rings that carry it. It works as a standalone roof design or alongside BinForge on a full bin.
The roof carries snow, wind, and the loads of the equipment and people on it, and it hands those loads outward to the eave ring and inward to the peak ring through radial ribs. RoofForge sizes the ribs and rings for that load path and checks the panels that span between them.
