The studies of cable-nets supporting glass façades are presented. Numerical modelling of the net, point-fixed bolted (spider) attachment and glass panes is described in some details using ANSYS software. Basic entry data concerning geometry, glass and cable properties are introduced based on current European Standards. Commonly recommended cable prestressing and the transverse wind loading in accordance with Eurocode 1 are employed. Partial results of large parametric studies are presented, covering various cablenet geometry, set of glass thicknesses and cable diameters. Finally, the study of a failure of some cables and robustness of the cable-net is demonstrated.
