Hi,

I set the model type of the rope to cable and inserted a APDL Command to apply pretension and set the number of load steps to 2.

However, the model still does not converge.

Perhaps it has something to do with how I Prescribed the displacement (tabular data is zero until time for second load step starts because I did not find a way to insert tabular data that begins at the second load step)
Do you have further advise for how to resolve this issue?

Thank you in advance,

Marco
