Description: # pycatenary
        
        ## Features
        
        This python package solves catenary equations for cables at static equilibrium.
        
        - Elasticity taken into account
        - Contact with floor/seabed taken into account
        - Handles partly or fully lifted lines
        - Multisegmented cables possible
        
        ## Installation
        
        ```
        python setup.py install --user
        ```
        
        ## Getting Started
        
        To create a cable:
        
        ```python
        from pycatenary import cable
        
        # define properties of cable
        length = 6.98  # length of line
        w = 1.036  # submerged weight
        EA = 560e3  # axial stiffness
        floor = True  # if True, contact is possible at the level of the anchor
        anchor = [0., 0., 0.]
        fairlead = [5.3, 0., 2.65]
        
        # create cable instance
        l1 = cable.MooringLine(L=length,
                               w=w,
                               EA=EA,
                               anchor=anchor,
                               fairlead=fairlead,
                               floor=True)
        
        # compute calculations
        l1.computeSolution()
        ```
        
        Position of fairlead and anchor can be changed as follows:
        
        ```python
        # change fairlead position
        l1.setFairleadCoords([5.4, 0., 2.65])
        
        # recompute solution
        l1.computeSolution()
        ```
        
        Other functions exist:
        
        ```python
        # get tension along line (between 0. and total line length)
        s = 5.
        T = l1.getTension(s)
        
        # get xyz coordinates along line
        xyz = l1.s2xyz(s)
        
        ```
