Network Arch Bridge (can someone look at my model)
so what i am wondering is how does my overall system look?
Looks good
are my use of rigid links and releses correct?
Yes
and is the soulution of using tension bars the best way of modeling cabels for this case?
Yes . longer cable is around 10m and not very inclined , so sagging will be minimum.
You don´t need to converge load cases like wind ,live load , temperature. Set them as auxiliary . Focus on converging real life loads like Self-weight and combinations containing Self-Weight . On a nonlinear analysis like yours every combination is treated like a regular load case and solved individually.

how reliable is the results that comes out for that cross section?
If it is done correctly, I hope it is very reliable because I have done hundreds of sections like that in section definition module
