Thank you very much for answering,

I've tried to apply your recommandation using link180, i got the results below

code used:

p=419e6              ! prestress value
esel,s,type,180    ! select link180 type
INISTATE,SET,CSYS,-2
INISTATE,SET,DTYP,STRE
INISTATE,DEFINE,,,,,-p

Please , could you explain why the stress in the cables are  not equal to the applied prestress  (419e6 Pa)?

my second question is why the do loop cannot be used for selecting the cables (EL_1 to EL_27)?

thank you very much for your reaction
