Some bugs have been fixed.
Summary
The problem that the result value becomes inaccurate when Offset and Height are similar and the speedup processing method have been fixed. (Only the calculation logic inside the program has been changed, so there is no change in usage.)

Since this program is a portable version, no installation work is required. After unpacking, double-click the 《Catenary_Curve_Generator_v.X.X.X.exe》 file in the 《Catenary_Curve_Generator_v.X.X.X》 folder to run the program immediately. However, it may take a long time to run depending on the specifications of your computer.
When installing and executing the program, pay attention to the following points.
Run as administrator
If the 《Catenary_Curve_Generator_v.X.X.X》 folder is in the Windows system folder such as ‘Program Files’ of C drive, you must ‘run as administrator’ when running the program. Otherwise, it may not work properly, or PDF, DXF files, etc. may not be saved properly.
Windows security settings
When unpacking program files, ‘Windows Security’ may automatically delete some files for reasons such as suspicious files. In that case, you have to decompress the file again after de-isolating the file in the Windows security settings. This program does not contain any viruses.

Hello Hwang. I am curious: what led you to prefer the catenary over the curate cycloid suggested years ago by Quentin Playfair. Reference below. The cycloid provides not only the central arch, but also the transition, recurve and channel region. Are you familiar with Quentin's work? https://www.platetuning.org/Cremonesesarching_Part_1.pdf
