# 1. Scipy Optimization (Recommended) (+2)

## 1. Scipy Optimization (Recommended)


Uses `scipy.optimize.fsolve` for robust multi-variable root finding.

**Best for:**
- Well-behaved systems
- Multiple lines with coupling
- Fast convergence

## 2. Newton-Raphson


Multi-dimensional Newton-Raphson with numerical Jacobian.

**Best for:**
- Systems needing fine control
- Cases with known sensitivity
- Debugging convergence issues

## 3. EA-Based (Catenary Theory)


Uses effective axial stiffness from catenary equations.

**Best for:**
- Simple catenary systems
- Initial estimates
- Lightweight iteration
