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