Great Seminar! Are there any options to pretension the cables easily?

+Tom Harris, there sure is! In the GAP element property card, there is a field for "Preload Force". Enter your pretension value into this field and you are good to go. I recommend running the analysis without any other loads to confirm that it is working properly.
