Cable Deconstruction [CSB]
Last updated
Removes (deactivates) cables from the finite element model at a specified construction stage. Used to model cable replacement or removal during staged construction analysis.
Stage: Construction stage at which the cables are removed. The cable FE elements are deactivated starting at this stage.
Cables: Cable objects that are removed in this stage.
Self-Weight Factor: Multiplier applied to the cable self-weight during the deactivation stage (default 1.0). Lowering this factor transitions the load out of the removed cables gradually across stages if a ramp is desired.
