7. Keyword CABLE

7.1. Affordable characteristics

Allows you to assign a constant cross section to cable or cable-pulley elements.

7.2. Syntax

CABLE = _F (

♦ GROUP_MA = lgma, [l_gr_mesh]

♦ SECTION = area, [real]

◊ FCX = fv, [function]

♦ N_INIT = ninit, [real]

),

7.3. Operand “section”

♦ section = area

Allows you to define the cross-sectional area of the cable.

7.4. Operand “FCX”

◊ fcx = fv

Assignment of a function describing the dependence of the distributed force on the relative wind speed (HM-77/01/046) see for example test SDNL102 [V5.02.102].

7.5. Operand N_INIT

Allows you to define the initial tension in the cable.
