The aim of this chapter is to obtain the selection strategy of form-finding methods for the initial state of transmission lines based on ANSYS. First, this chapter introduces the theory and the main characteristic of four kinds of form-finding methods for transmission lines, which are the "V"-shape method, the little elastic modulus method, the direct iteration method, and the across-the-lowest-point method. Second, in order to get the selection strategy of these four methods, design a group of calculation models. Then, this chapter organizes simulation results on the basis of different methods, and makes further analyses of these data. The selection strategy proposed in this chapter can provide a convenient way to choose the proper form-finding method for the initial state of transmission lines based on ANSYS.
