How to Design a Lifting Structure Using Cables

[@alirezajohari8916]

Love your amazing software! It is so much better to have a cloud-based software and have everything at one's fingertips instead of having to search through folders inside folders, etc.! And the user interface is so easy to use too!

Helpful tutorial. I have struggled to incorporate crossbracing cables in my S3D models. The solver generates errors, mentioning it needed to remove a cable element for certain load cases, found unusually high displacement values (perhaps because a cable was sagging ?) ... and generally left me baffled. This video gives me some things to try so that crossbracing cables, important to my designs are used without my recent kludges: thin steel angle defined as "tension only" ...etc. Really hope I can fix my cable issues as for me they are really important elements. Because I am an amateur (not a structural engineer) using SkyCiv for my projects, I want to avoid asking questions of the SkyCiv support dept that a formally trained structural engineer would likely not find a need to ask. The SkyCiv FEA tool has already been invaluable for my design work. Will continue to learn about correctly setting up my models from SkyCiv tutorials. Certainly my residential design product/project will require hiring a professional structural engineering firm to analyze and sign off on the design, I use SkyCiv to validate my own design decisions along the path so the design is within a practical range of feasible before it is submitted for formal analysis.
