Abstract :
Morphological analysis is an important process in the design of cable-membrane structure. This article describes the analysis method of cable-membrane structure, a detailed analysis and discussion of the non-linear finite element method for form-finding method and obtain the concrete steps to use ANSYS software to achieve the form-finding analysis. Finally, through the combination of a pre-tensioned catenary mask the actual analysis of the structure, the results be calculated after the form-finding and compare theoretical values derived using ANSYS software simulation value, the maximum error between the theoretical value of 2.6%, to meet the form-finding analysis requirements.
