ADAMS/MACHINERY cable module in a cube

[roberto001]

hi,
i have two bodies connected with 4 cylinders and cables, in a way that the cables have a preload force when the cylinders are perpendicular to the bodies. Observing graphical force representation of ADAMS/PostProcessor, It happens that the preload force is aplied in each anchor (as expected) but only 2 of the cylinders are subjected to force, instead of the 4 cylinders used to connect the bodies, how it chould be.
i've tried everything..., someone knows what could be possibly wrong?

Dunno, seems like you are either good at telepathy or good at ADAMS. Me, I'm in the latter camp.

Sorry, my telepathic abilities haven't improved in the last 10 minutes.
