How can I support the truss by two cable and bottom support?
Hello all,
I have been trying to model a truss. I have two bottom support, it can be fully fixed or partially fixed and I have two cable connection at the top. But this cable member should not take any compression, since I have Wind suction in that…
3D Cable Solid Problem
Hi, when I visualize a cable successfully connected it showed me a correct route, but when I create a 3d cable solid the cable doesn't follow the same route. The cable go throught raceway and came back.
Parts Types
RM Bridge users are able to assign different Parts Types to create specific elements or references in the cross-sections. In the same cross-section, multiple and different definitions can be assigned. As users can assign any other Cross section to a Node…
Import cable diameter
Hello Everybody,
Is it possible to import the cable diameter values per cable list into BRCM?
So they do not have to be configurated in the cable settings, instead, we would like to import them each time with the cable list.
Best Regards Ph…

How to export "Cable Group" value
Hi All,
How is it possible to export the cable group value with the cable list?
We tested importing the cable list with the Cable group value, and that causes no problems.
However we want to forward this value when we export a cable list out…
BRCM Cable Group Attribute
Hi All,
We are having some doubts about how the "cable group" attribute works exactly.
We are understanding it like this: When you have for example a 7x1x150mm2 cable, that you insert for all 7 wires in the same "cable group", so not for example 5…

Cable Forces: FCAB, FX0, or LX0, and Cable sagging
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:

Why is tension in cable not activating?
I am trying to do an analysis with small glass facade held by cables. However I am getting a huge deflection in the middle of the facade. Even I try to increase the tension in cable, it is still giving a huge unrealistic deflection. Maybe someone can…

How can I know the length of the cable?
I currently have the program Pomis.e v81, how can I know the length of the cable?
I make the schematics in promis.e v8i, is it possible to obtain a list of my connections, distance of the cable
RE: Non-Linear or Linear Cable Analysis
Here are a couple of changes I would suggest
Change the nonlinear cable analysis from BASIC to ADVANCED
