TEST11<br />

Same as TEST01 but use a special option (OPTI EDSS) that causes the cable element<br />

to use a small-strain formulation instead of the default large-strain formulation. The<br />

only difference is in the calculation of the axial strain increment, which reads<br />

∆ ε =∆L/<br />

L0<br />

instead of ∆ ε =∆ L/<br />

L.<br />

The results are in good agreement with the linear analysis. The maximum deflection is<br />

0.4 and the period is 0.889 s:<br />
