介绍了架空输电导线找形的解析法和有限元法，用ANSYS软件对算例进行了找形分析，使用APDL语言编写了命令流程序，并将分析得到的相关参数值与理论计算值进行了对比，验证了有限元法的准确性，为架空输电导线的动力分析提供了条件。

The finite element method(FEM) and analytical method used for the form-finding of overhead transmission line is introduced in this paper. The ANSYS software is used to research on the form-finding of a transmission line, and the program is written by APDL language. The relevant parameters are compared with the theoretical values, verifiying the accuracy of FEM used for the form-finding. The results provide conditions for the dynamic analysis of overhead transmission line.
