Abstract
The aim of this article is to assess the speed of convergence of numerical calculation of cable-membrane structures using dynamic relaxation method in the process of finding critical damping pre-calculated on undamped system. The procedure is tested on four different constructions in six numerical cases. The variety of examples is as large as possible to demonstrate the greatest versatility of the test procedure. The efficiency of the procedure is evaluated based on the number of iterations.

The aim of this article is to assess the speed of convergence of numerical calculation of cable-membrane structures in the process of finding critical damping pre-calculated on undamped system
It can be seen that the critical damping coefficient was set well and that the number of iterations is close to minimum
Summary
The design of cable-membrane structures is realized using numerical models of construction. Execution of the numerical analysis is not easy. The shape of the structure, unlike conventional structures, is not known in advance. The initial equilibrium shape of the structure must be found during the phase called the form-finding process. The second phase is the static response process. Both processes represent a geometrically non-linear case from a mathematical point of view, but each process has its own specifics
