Catenary cable analysis.

Enter the span, sag (or tension) and load, and Volex Anvil solves the catenary: the horizontal tension H, the maximum tension at the supports, the cable length and the sag profile — for cables under self-weight (true catenary) or a uniform load (parabolic approximation).

The sag-tension relationship follows Timoshenko's 'Theory of Structures', so the horizontal and maximum tensions match the classical closed-form results for cables and tie-backs.
