How does the catenary curve affect my tension calculations?

The catenary curve accounts for the weight of the line itself. As the line length increases, the sag increases, which raises the total tension compared to a perfectly straight line.

Can I use this for both Dyneema and Polyester lines?

Yes, the server supports both Dyneema and Polyester. You can use `get_material_properties` to see the specific constants used for each material.

How do I know if my kite line is about to break?

You can use the `predict_line_failure` tool. It compares your current tension against the breaking strength of the material and provides a safety margin.

More Details Connect to Claude

This MCP server provides structural analysis for kite lines. It uses catenary and vector mechanics to calculate total tension, stretch percentage, and breaking strength margins based on kite power, line geometry, and material properties. Use calculate_tension_and_safety for a full analysis or predict_line_failure to check if a specific load exceeds the line's capacity.
