      Is there a simple way to model a cable element in ANSYS workbench without using ADPL?  I need to see both the inital shape from the sag and apply different tension loads.  Ultimatley, I'm looking at tension fabric membrane behavior and a simple cable model will be the best place to start.  I'm fairly new to ANSYS and haven't found what I'm looking for yet.
