Modeling cables subjected to wind
I want to model cables subjected to wind. Wind force acting on a cable is a function of relative velocity between wind velocity and velocity of the structure. So at each time step for applying wind force I need the cable velocity of the previous step. Does anyone know how should I obtain wind velocity at each step and use it for the wind force for the next step?
Re: Modeling cables subjected to wind
you can only obtain the velocity at the nodes .. this can be obtained using the nodeVel commands
