A new kind of FEM element cable sliding element is also refer to. Its elementary presentation is given, which has arbitrary number of sliding nodes and satisfies uniform strain assumption. A typical load relieving system model is established applying the sliding cable element and studied under 2 representative load cases. As the results of analysis are reasonable, the correctness and validity of sliding cable element and its application in load relieving system can be proved. Furthermore, the strategy of simulating distributing load by applying concentrated forces on separate nodes of sliding cable element is proved feasible.Reserva de todos los derechosLoad relieving systemSliding cable elementLarge deformationFinite element methodDistributing loadComunicación en congresoAbierto
