ANSYS Mechanical APDL - LINK180 and BEAM188 - How to use together
(OP)
I want to model beam with simple load on center of beam. I am using BEAM 188 element.
The beam is suspended on two cables(tension only).
For my cables, I am using LINK 180 element.
How to connect LINK 180 elements and BEAM 188 element in Mechanical APDL so I don't get:
A large pivot value error.
What is the procedure, is there some tutorial.

What if I put number of divisions on LINK 180 elements that are my cables to 1 ?
