Hi,
In this case, using springs is slightly easier. Suppress the four line bodies to try springs.
While creating a spring, you simply select the hole surface in each ear. In the spring dialog box, you can type in the pretension value you want the spring to have. You will have to calculate the spring rate of the cable to use in the spring dialog box.
In Workbench, have a Static Structural analysis. Drag a Modal analysis out of the Toolbox and drop it on the Solution cell of the Static Structural. That sets up a Pre-stressed Modal analysis where the pretension in the springs will affect the Modal frequencies.
