Modelling question - tension-only elements?

Is it possible to model a catenary support, for example, a suspension bridge cable in F360?. 

 

How about a chain which performs in tension only?  Or a guy-wire?

 

I would like to be able to simulate static and dynamic performance.

 

Regards,

Donald Gibson

Hi Donald.

 

Since Fusion simulation only has solid elements, it is not realistic to model a cable. I suggest Inventor Nastran which has a more complete element library and analysis capabilities.
