Dear Ansys Community, 

Is there a way to model a cable (using cable element) with moment stiffness in ANSYS Transient? I prefer not to use a beam element. I found a solution for LS-DYNA, but it does not seem to work for Transient analysis.

Thank you.

I haven't tried the method you linked to myself, but I expect it should work in a Transient Structural model.  What error do you see when you try?

Dear Peter,

Thank you for your response. I tried your method in Transient Structural (attached) however for some reasons it does not converge, I tried to use the setting that best matches your original post  however I am not sure if it is differences in LS-Dyna  and tansient settings or somethins else,I would greatly appreciate any insights or suggestions you might have to help resolve this issue.

Thank you,
