Question 1: How is initial cable length and geometry calculated when multiple point loads are applied? Answer 1: OPEN QUESTION |
Loading
Should I apply a load which represents initial cable conditions before running subsequent nonlinear analyses?
...
Once the initial shape and tension of a cable is determined, further analysis is necessary when additional loading is applied. Nonlinear analysis is also recommended. Video 16 of the SAP2000 SAP2000 Watch & Learn video series provides excellent instruction on this topic.
