Hi. I am trying to model a wire rope net, as shown in the attached picture. The wires should be modelled with a sag, so I have tried with cable elements. But the problem is that I cannot attach the wire-mesh, which I model using simple bar elements, to the cable elements. It looks like the cable element doesn't know what occur between (inside the element) node 1 and node 2.
How would you model this type of problem?
