I only have a nodal force at the end node of a link element though. That shouldn't be the deal. I believe it's something about the meshing of the link element. But I am not an expert with ansys...

I already tried with beam elements for all elements to check the geometry and see if there is any double nodes etc. That works. Sorry guess I forgot to write that.

I plan to make different models. one also with calculation the moment of inertia of cables. but in my understanding it would also be correct to model a cable with multiple link elements since a cable itself can take nonaxial loads only after being deformed (slag being the mirrored bending...

thanks for the fast reply! I believe so. I tried to assign the beam section and properties to all lines (not only the frame) and that works fine. No error message with calculating. If I try to model the inner lines as link elements and use the same boundary conditions and all, i get that error...

hi all, I am getting a similar error and am trying to model cables and beams as well.I attached a picture of my geometrie. the frame constrained in all dof and the inner lines are cables defined as link elements with combin14 elements at two coincident nodes between each link element. the combin...
