Funi
Python script for calculation of deflection of elastic ropes.
This software implements the equations of the catenary curves, in adimensional formulation. The theory is applicable only to elastic ropes with uniform section.
Any number of hanged masses or hangers may be input. The schema may be imported and exported.
The graphics of deflections and tensions are shown with reference to X coordinate, while the graphic of stretches is shown with reference to the curvilinear coordinate.
The solution is found by iteration, by mean of Scipy Minimize functions...
