modeling in SAP 2000

modeling in SAP 2000

(OP)
I'm trying to model a guy-wired aluminum tower in SAP2000, but I can't find the right element to model a cable with.  Is there a tension only element or equivalent in SAP 2000?

RE: modeling in SAP 2000

There is, there is a NNLINK called a hook, which will allow only tension. The only thing is it isn't the easiest thing to use.

RE: modeling in SAP 2000

i agree with the above answer.You must be very careful allthough when giving properties in the hook element.You'll find a very good example of a structure with hook element in www.csiberkeley.com in sap2000 training problems
