Tension Ring

Finally, it is necessary to define a tension ring inside the stadium. This can be done in the same way as described in Chapter Suspension Cables. For the cross-section of the member with the "Cable" member type, define a round steel member with a diameter of 120 m.

After the member has been set in the work window as shown in Image Tension Ring, it can be divided: A cable will be connected to its intermediate node later.

Info

Members can be divided with the function Divide Member → n Intermediate Nodes. It is included in the member shortcut menu that appears when right-clicking the member.
