Hi, what sort of elements would you use on a tensioned cable, pinned at either end, that is to have a uniform load across it ?
a single link8/10 element can't work because you can't put a UDL on it, only 2 nodes...Mulitple link elements won't work because there is no stiffness at each node, it just flops around giving a stupid solution. Unless there is something i am missing using link elements.
Any help appreciated, thanks.
