Hi everybody.
I am trying a suspension bridge in RM Bridge V8 and I model main cable by cable element, but when I calculator seflweight of suspension bridge then it error Node support in node of main cable and I modeling node support have value 1e+10 in CMX, CMY, CMZ, and deflection is very large, So, I hope everybody help me can fix error and linking cable elements into a unified whole is a soft wire structure.
if can, everybody can give me a file RM Bridge to refer, please.
I hope reply to every body about my problem.
Thank you so much and good luck.
Hi Dang,
If you're creating a full 3D model you might as well need to restrain the rotation DOF's for all cable elements at their begin and end (φx = φy = φz = 1E10)
We always indicate to use the latest version of our products, in RM Bridge CONNECT Edition you can find the Suspension bridge model simple example at File\Examples\Demo Examples & FAQ\Suspension Bridge with documentation and datasets.
