Hello,

Does anybody know how to model cable in SAP2000? I can define member property as cable but the final tension force in cable doesn't match with simple hand calc for simple geometry. I want to use cable for complex geometry, but before that i just wanted to feel comfortable with results given by SAP and I didn't like them. So anyone has any personal experience about cable?
