What shape does a cable naturally take under load? That’s the funicular shape, the most efficient path for transferring forces purely through tension. In this demonstration using Mola 3, you can see how the cable instantly adapts its geometry based on the points where loads are applied. Understanding funicular shapes is fundamental for designing efficient cable structures, from simple suspension systems to complex bridges. - Qual forma um cabo assume naturalmente sob carga? Essa é a forma funicu
