Considering a cable (hanger) that has boundary conditions as pinned-pinned or fixed-fixed. I am trying to evaluate the stress in the beam element, as previously suggested to use bolt pretension which solved the tension issue. I got 2 questions and I hope to receive answers about them:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Why applying bolt pretension force calculate accurate solution however force applied at supports gives wrong solution?(attached pictures 1,2 are for bolt pretension ,3,4 for force )<\/li>\n<li>If I am willing to apply a horizontal force component or moment at the lower part of cable. What form should I introduce the force\/ moments? as a nodal force or?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>I appreciate your support and hope to get a response <\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/865\/C191NAYM1J5A.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/865\/C191NAYM1J5A.png\" alt=\"fig1.png\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-169603","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-bolt-pretension","topic-tag-bridge","topic-tag-cable-dynamics","topic-tag-peteroznewman","topic-tag-surface-tension"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["1055"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["253178"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["169603"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["88","253178"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["215092"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["215092"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-05-31 08:38:08"]},"test":"omarsaadi30gmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/169603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/169603\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=169603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
