No, you have to add control points and adjust stiffness sliders to get the right shape. I think you can get a convincing shape with only 3 control points (one at each end with the right angle, one horizontal in the middle). As you can see here there is not much visual difference between a catenary and a parabola https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catenary#Catenary_bridges
