Form finding software

(OP)
Hello!
I'm looking for a free form finding software to get the right cooridnates and required prestress for a cable structure before calculating it in sap2000. There's FormFinder Light, but it seems that you can only use it with fabric elements.

RE: Form finding software

dave, SAP2000's cable element already has numerous form finding options (undeformed length, sag options, minimum tension, etc.). Not exactly sure what you're asking.

RE: Form finding software

(OP)
Thank you for your response. I didn't know about those options in sap, I'll try it.
