Hi!
I have a solving problem with the numerical solver.
As you can see in the sketch, i have a heavy tube which is held with two steel-strings. The fixing point of the tube is not in the middle.
Now I'm searching for the forces, angles, and the lengthchange of the strings accounting the hooke's Law, the geometrical relations and static equilibrium.
So far, so good.
When changing the guess-values of the angles i get different results, what should not be.
What is going wrong here?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you, best regards, Volker
I'm working with MP4.
