A barrel vault is unique because its edges orthogonal to the arches carry almost no load (e.g., **1e-5**), while the edges along the arches share the same internal horizontal force (e.g., **2**). The exception occurs at the boundary, where half of the horizontal force is used (e.g., **1**) for the small tributary area. Due to this special force distribution, the force diagram collapses into a single line.
Set the horizontal edge constraints (h\_min and h\_max) to: a) 0.00001, b) vertical edges to 2, and c) vertical boundary edges to 1. This is done because horizontal edges ideally carry no load, and boundary arches have a tributary area twice as large as the outer ones.
On the right side, the force diagram is created with TextDots marking the angle deviation between the form edge and its 90-degree rotated force edge. In the next step, horizontal equilibrium will be applied to reduce this deviation to zero.
The final geometry is computed by running the vertical equilibrium command, keeping the z-height unchanged. For preview, we use the following options:`RV_settings > Drawing > show_pipes` and `show_forces`.
