Hi!
Maybe today it is much too hot and I have drunk too little water and coffee, but i can't find a stable solution for a defined problem:
I have to solve a mechanical problem (dimensioning steel cables) with the solve block including 18 equations with 18 unknowns:
It is required that the lengthchange, the number of threads and all forces, etc. are calculated with the solver.
Please see the sketch (you can doubleclick the .exe file to view it, it's an e-drawing file) and worksheet in attach.
The Problem is: I have as many equations as unknowns and when i change the guess values, i get always different results.
Are my equations right, and do i define something double or contradictory?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you very much for your efforts.
