Form finding and design optimization of cable network structures with flexible frames

•Form finding and optimization method for flexible-supported cable nets is proposed.•The interactive effect is captured by solving the non-compatibility problem.•Linear form for the determination of free node coordinates is derived.•The method is applied to mesh reflector antennas to demonstrate the...
