    Cable values

    Dear Blas, Thanks for your reply. So I can stop looking in help-files and so on...just fill in an ER and wait... Best regards, Tom

    Cable values

    It does seem odd, but as far as I can tell "cable" is just a ROD element with restrictions. The help manual doesn't really give much information on this matter. The property card of the elements is attached. Since the message already appears when Femap translates the Input into NX/Nastran...

    Cable values

    Hello there, In a model of a suspendend platform I'm using ROD elements to represent some steel cables. In the property dialog I entered some values for the cable. However, when running the NL Static Analysis the following message appears: Skipping all Cable Values for Property 1. Can someone...

    Constraint under pressure only?

    Hello there, I'm building up a model of a scaffold and I have a little question about Constraints. At the wheels and baseplates of the scaffold I use Constraints to pin down the model. Using Freebody I remove any Constraints that are under tension, ie lifting of the scaffold. Is there a way to...

    Ghost reactions

    Thank you for your reply. Normally I always have AutoSPC on, set to Eigenvalue. And no problems so far. However, I remodelled the elements adjacent to the "Ghost reaction". After analysing the structure again the ghost reaction was gone. So the problem is solved, although I still don't know...

    Ghost reactions

    Hello there, I have a small problem that emerges in Postprocessing. After analysing a model of a scaffold I'm using Freebody to check reaction loads on the wheels. However a "Ghost reaction" emerges on the scaffold itself, on a place where no constraints are defined. See also the attached...

    Picking point using API

    Hello, I'm trying to develop a API Program to automatically apply Loads to specific Curves and Points. The Curve part of the program is currently working, the problem I have is with the Points part. The Load should be applied on the top-most point of the structure (a scaffold in this case)...
