Abstract
With the rapid development of science engineering calculation and the membrane building structure system, membrane structure has been widely used in many kinds of architectural style. This paper focuses on the minimal surface form-finding analysis of membrane structure, which is mainly solved through the nonlinear iteration. Through analyzing the surface iterative solution of the initial solution, a higher degree approximation of the initial solution surface can be found, which also can be used for an approximate form of the membrane surface in the structure design.
