Hello. I am new to Abaqus and with a somehow unusual problem.
I have a horizontal cable modelled as wire, element type truss T3D2, no compression material, to which I applied pretension stress in the initial step.
The cable is connected to (almost vertical) beams at each of its endpoints via join-type connectors. Due to design requirements, I need to apply lateral (horizontal) forces at these shared endpoints, but the job keeps on failing.
I can apply vertical forces. Is some setting wrong? any idea how could I model this?
Any help is appreciated
Thank you
