Hi guys, Please help me to find a solution.

I'm using Staad V8i for strcural design. I wants to model hanger wire 3mm( Dia)Thk in staad.
 
I'd put in hangers as loads. Something like that isn't worth modeling as it adds nothing to the structural integrity.

 
Go to general > property > define > you will see circular section . Enter 3 mm and material of the wire . And like war rose said , adding undesirable elements will add undesirable effects in the structure .
 
Has our level of confidence in structural analysis soared to the point of modelling wire that is less than 1/8" in diameter?
