How does RM Bridge consider the effect of cable sag?
Best regards.
There are multiple options to consider Cable Sagging in RM Bridge. Initially, the Elements Type Cable is used to have Normal tension forces only and give linear results. Then, additionally, the Action CabSag can be used to create the non-linear behavior simplification...

yep, use the iTwin Snapshot tool (from here) to convert this to a .BIM file and then you can reference it into Microstation.

For elements type Cable there are also different considerations for the cable behaviors: linear, CabSag, or Stay Cable Nonlinear. Depending on the type of analysis performed, each one could be more advantageous:

You are correct the VUE render engine should not crash when you press the render button. Bentley needs to capture these exceptions so the developers can get to the root of the problem. MicroStation 2023.1 should be available at the end of the...
