To whom it may concern,
I am currently trying to use cable elements in a simple robot model however I am battling to obtain solution convergence of the assembly.
Essentially I want to model a cable which has a pretension of 1000 kN in it. The cable is has an intermediate elastic support in the vertical direction and is pinned at either end. The cable has been divided into to such that the intermediate support may be modeled making the cables collinear. Additionally, uniform loads are applied to the cables.
Please be so kind as to offer advise, urgently.
I have attached the example for reference.
Regards,
Dane
