Geometric Nonlinear Analysis of the Catenary Cable Element Based on UPFs of ANSYS

The catenary cable element has more advantages than other nonlinear truss elements but is less used in commercial programs. In this paper, the initial geometric configuration of the element is solved iteratively by the dichotomous method. Then the Updated Lagrangian (UL) Formulation for the two-node...
