You can do the circular beam by creating it as an in-place structural framing element using the sweep function. Load in a structural steel profile, from Profiles in the family library. Draw the circular path for the sweep and insert the profile that you have loaded - I used an I-beam, but all the common profiles and sizes are there. With regards to the tensile structure, this depends on what you mean and what it looks like.

RST 2010 allows curved beams as shown. I believe in 2009 it was an in-place solution as Tim says. My RST 2009 memory is slowly slipping way. Not sure about the tensile design abilities and analysis.

Actually, I think the curved beam was a new feature back in Revit Structure 2008. An easy way to make this would be draw a circle using a detail line or something, then go into your beam command and instead of using the draw option, switch to the pick option and select the circle. (IE. on the options bar, select the white arrow rather than the pencil.) Alternatively, if you use the draw option, you can pick from three type, straight line, or two types of arcs...just draw out two arcs for your circle is you need two members. The in place family would be for Revit Architecture and in that case, would use the sweep and a structural profile as mentioned.

And if all else fails, look up curved beams in Revit Structures help file.
