"La forma propuesta obedece a un cascarón reticulado de traslación (CRT), cuyas **curvas generatrices y directrices son catenarias**."
My proposed translation is as follows:
"The proposed form is a translation-grid shell (TGS), the generatrix and directrix curves of which have a catenary profile."
Can anybody confirm or does anyone have any different ideas?
Many thanks!

generatrix and director curve are catenaries
Not the typo in the original: "curva" must be plural. In English it's more common to use director curve, the curve along which the generatrix moves to generate the surface. The translation would benefit from breaking free from a Spanish pattern, and the word "profile" does not apply at all:
The proposed form is a generated wireframe shell, where both the generatrix and the director curve are catenaries.
Note that generatrix already contains the "curve" element, so the noun curve is in the singular, as it refers only to the director curve.
