Five-hundred-meter aperture spherical radio telescope(FAST)is supported by a cable-net structure which enables its surface to form a real-time paraboloid by active control.FAST project is currently in the construction and implementation stage.However there are always a considerable amount of errors that existed in practice which may result in the deviation of the structure from its ideal model or design.Therefore structural parameter sensitivity analysis was discussed which is indispensable.However such deformation operation would lead to about 500 MPa of fatigue stress variation amplitude in the cable-net struct...
