Hey
My problem with Sap2000 V11 is this one:

with the command Assign> Frames> Insertion Point I fixed the rolled in the down part of the edge of a beam.
Thus if afterwards I try to draw a cable in the edge of this beam (but in the up part of the beam) the program automatically begins the designing of this cable from the point that I fixed the rolled (in the up part of beam).
My question is simple:

Has the program sap2000 V11 the possibility to have at once in the down part (in the edge of a beam) a rolled fix and in the up part (in the edge of a beam) a beginning of a cable?

Follows drawing

Thank you

Giannis
 
I do not believe that SAP has that ability. The easiest way to capture the small moment induced from that cable is to attach a infinitely rigid link equal to the depth of your beam to the end of the beam, then attach the cable to it.
 
Thank you about your request, but as i understand Sap2000 V11 or V12 has for new models cable bridges.
So is possible to have Sap2000 (v11 or V12) as model cable bridge and not to take into acount the small moments induced from that cable?
