<p>Hey, <\/p><p>You can start with a static structural analysis. Geometry appears simple. Model the sheet and cable. <\/p><p>To model the cable you can use beam elements and  change its behaviour setting to ‘Cable’. <\/strong>This will ensure that the beam behaves like a cable.<\/p><p>Here is more help regarding modelling beams<\/p><p>https:\/\/ansyshelp.ansys.com\/Views\/Secured\/corp\/v242\/en\/wb_sim\/ds_line_bodies.html<\/a><\/p><p> <\/p><p>You can apply pressure to model the weight of the surrounding soil, meanwhile a force on the cable to pull it against the pressure of soil. <\/p><p>To postprocess it check whether the stress levels in the sheet have gone above yield marking general material failure.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>You can get started on ANSYS simulations by checking out this course,<\/p><p>Stress Analysis in Ansys Mechanical | Ansys Innovation Courses<\/a>, This Ansys Innovation Courses Learning Track runs you through various courses on stress analysis using Ansys Mechanical.<\/p><p>Thanks<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-386266","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
