The goal is to see if the plate will fail given a pulling force of 40kN on the cable.&nbsp; &lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have access to both Ansys Fluent and Mechanical.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, this sheet will be inclined at around 45 degrees. Any help on how I would go about this would be great, as I am new to Ansys.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you!&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-383755","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-civil-engineering","topic-tag-soil-modeling","topic-tag-soil-structure-interation-1"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["459439","440006"],"_bbp_author_ip":["99.209.228.130"],"_btv_view_count":["182"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_notification_enabled":["459439","459439","459439","459439","459439"],"_bbp_topic_id":["383755"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["440006","459439"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["1"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["386266"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["386266"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-09-24 09:15:00"]},"test":"ibborrumenergysolutions-ca"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/383755","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\/383755\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=383755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
