Hi

I have to calculate an 16'' flare that is maintained with 3 wire cables at 120° each one so I used CAESARII to modelise it but for the cables I modelised it by an expansion joint with cables stiffness characteristics and I got a reasonable solution
I m just asking if someone can help me to get a better model for this cables and if it's true to use a spring restraint with cables stiffnesses and which model is better or if there is another idea to represent the cables in CAESAR II
