• steel frame building with tension cables

    Good day, I am currently modelling a steel structure that employs the use of tension cable for lateral bracing in addition to an eccentrically braced frame. I have a few queries as it relates to the specification for the cables, which I have listed…
  • RE: Calculating Deflection (P Delta Effects)

    Tension along a linear member does not impact perpendicular deflection in general finite element analysis. One would have to perform a full-blown cable analysis to see the effect of tension in reducing centenary drape. See Help - Contents - Section…
  • Continuous Cable with Intermediate Cable Supports

    Hi, I am trying to model a continuous cable with 13 intermediate vertical cable supports as well as 2 horizontal supports at the ends. The results don't seem to be making sense, as the supports at the end are only showing the initial tension and no…
