I know that when I have cable connected, the resultant vector of each cable will point at the direction of the angle it's connected in.

BUT, suppose we switch all these cables to rigid body structures like beams. I cannot make the same assumption (to my understanding), is that correct?
HERE, for instance, I make the assumption that Tbc is pulling the direction of its angle. If these were beams, and not cables, I cannot make such an assumption can I?
