You can setup a Static Structural model that can cover all the angles by turning on Large Deflection under Analysis Settings. The model can start with the structure horizontal and resting on the rails, with the wires vertical. Move the support point at the top of the wires up, raising the structure.

You don't need Transient Structural unless the lifting (or lowering) of the structure is fast enough to generate significant inertia forces.
