How can I make the tent smoother, like in the drawing? It’s much too pointy and distorted on the sides.I urgently need help. I’m very desperate.

There are many threads on this subject.
Thank you! The problem is that it’s already too tense even without the bars. I want cleaner, easier curves, like the red line. I’m still a beginner, and I really don’t know anything about this.
Re Hello
I think you must follow what Daniel Piker said here,
you need different edge length depending on the location of edges.
You have 760 similar goals.
If you separate goals from naked edges and non naked edges you can have
For the render it is possible to subdivide mesh using a tool Like Catmull & Clark or SubD but it seems that there are no tools that accept fixed points ! (Except in my Nautilus plugin but it is not a free tool)
So if you have Nautilus it could be helpful, if not, use Daniel way of doing

It’s a bit more work, but to get a nicer result for this sort of tensile structure it is better to build a mesh where the topology actually fits the shape.
Here’s how I’d approach the one shown in your image:
You can then relax this with a bit more control.

Also, with a better patch layout like this you can even convert to SubD or NURBS to get a nice smooth result at the end:
To keep the sharp points the SubD has the anchor vertices set as corners using a script adapted from this one:
