A.To specify a nonlinear cable analysis
To specify a nonlinear cable analysis using the advanced features in STAAD.Pro, use the following steps.
Note: Use of the Advanced Cable analysis feature requires the STAAD.Pro Advanced License.
Only one primary load case is permitted for a nonlinear cable analysis. A CHANGE
command must be used with a new nonlinear cable analysis for each additional primary load case to be analyzed.
Add a change command and a new primary load case to analyze additional load cases using a nonlinear cable analysis. Then repeat this procedure to specify another nonlinear cable analysis.
Tip: You can
select to add the cable sag values for a nonlinear cable analysis to the output
file in the post-analysis
Analysis/Print Commands dialog.
