Form-finding of optimal cable nets under self-weight based on the Force Density Method

Form-finding of cable nets is the main topic of this paper. This initial stage of design path is grounded on the enhanced version of the Force Density Method. Apart from the basic form-finding it includes optimal shaping and adding self-weight of a cable structure. Minimal sum of cable lengths in th...
