Head Span
Ribbon: Catenary Design > Cross Span
Sicat Master will create a head span rope and a cross span wire with associated elements. You have to allocate head-span wire supports to these elements.
According to the number of support points in the cross span Sicat Master automatically creates the cross span wire.
