Cable Connections in Robot

[Anonymous]

Does anybody know how to successfully model a cable suspended from another cable. Like in a suspension bridge? I get errors telling me that any node on a cable is an isolated node, that I have a separate structure, and that most of the nodes are unstable. I've attached a simple example of what I'm trying to do.

PLay with elongation assembly paratemerts to get convergence and correct assembling force.

 on a cable is an isolated node

Cables are not divided by nodes or any other elelemnts onto smaller cable finite elelemnts. So addinf Bar Force with Node generation gives such warning.

Add Such force without Node.
