Abstract:
      To consider the large displacement,the nonlinear finite element equilibrium equation is established and the nonlinear stiffness matrices of spatial beam element are introduced by means of Updated Lagrange method.According to special technical problems in the form-finding of long span cable-membrane structures with supported structure,a very powerful approach is presented to avoid the larger displacement of shape controlling points by applying prestress-fixed members,shape-fixed members and adjustable members.Meanwhile,a software is developed on the basis of secondary development tools provided by AutoCAD to make the numerical model establishment more efficient.Wuhu stadium is analyzed as a study case.The form-finding and loading analysis show the presented method and software are accurate and efficient for the analysis and design.
