Hi everybody.
I am currently modeling a suspension bridge with a span diagram of 125m-400m-125m.
And, I have referenced how to calculate tension of main cable and hanger cable as instructed in Demo of RM Bridge V8, and I obtained a deflection of 2.2m. I realize that the cable tension at the edge of the cable is negative (meaning that the cable is compressed), I want to ask you if I should adjust the cable hanger's internal force to reflect the working nature of the rope bridge?, Of course, here I adjust the internal force according to the displacement control.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards.
Hello James Carter.
I I am very happy to receive your commnet.
Can you tell me if the method I presented above is correct?
I hope to hear from you.
