Abstract
ANSYS is the most popular finite element analysis software all over the world. Although there are more than one kind of form-finding method for transmission lines, study on the comparison of these methods has not been carried out before. Firstly, this chapter will summarize the theory and the algorithm flow of three common form-finding methods for the initial state of transmission lines based on ANSYS, specifically, they are the “V”-shape method, the little elasticity modulus method and the direct iteration method; besides, this chapter believes that these three methods have distinct accuracies in different calculation conditions. With a series of ANSYS simulation examples, the errors between simulation results and theoretical values are expressed by scatter charts. Furthermore, this chapter discusses the simulation results by comparing the accuracy of these three form-finding methods.
