ST7-1.40.20.2 Underwater Cable - Catenary and Forces
Strand7 is equipped with cable elements which can be used to determine the catenary shape due to gravity, distributed loads and concentrated loads. This document shows an example of cable elements used to solve an underwater cable system.
A 1000 m underwater cable consisting of metal chains and wire rope is shown below. Create a new SI unit model.
Create a beam element joining nodes at (0,0,0) and (500,500,0).
Use Tools/Split Beams with a 0.3 Split Ratio to divide the beam into two elements.
