Reverse two leg Bridle

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to insert a truss bridle with the "Reverse Two Leg Bridle" tool - but BW seems to think there is a chain under pressure and keeps failing.

 

Disabling Second order analysis returns a weight value of 0 lbf on the centre hoist.

 

A simple truss, with 2 points calculates without issue.

However, once I add the centre inverted bridle BW fails.

What am I doing wrong?  Is this not the intended use of this tool?

@Moritz Staffel Do you have any ideas or suggestions on how to properly apply a reverse truss bridle? 

 

Is there correct way to implement this tool?  I've followed this process from the 2022 Help:

 

Quote

If inserting a reversed two leg bridle, do the following. If inserting any other bridle type, proceed to step 5.

Click on the rigging object to set the insertion point for Leg 1, and click again to set the insertion point for Leg 2. The available insertion points are highlighted as the mouse moves over them.

Click on the rigging point where the bridle will attach. Valid insertion points are highlighted as the mouse moves over them. The bridle object is inserted in the drawing.

Move the mouse to the object that the bridle will support, and click to set the connection point. Valid connection points are highlighted as the mouse moves over them.

Insert the bridle legs. For each leg, click on the rigging point where the leg will attach. The available insertion points are highlighted as the mouse moves over them.

The bridle object is inserted in the drawing.

Thanks to you both for responding - my default position is that I've messed it up somehow, so I appreciate your time and individual experiences. 

 

Mark, I'm always reluctant to upgrade before a service pack update for the reasons you've posted in other 2023 topics - yikes!.

 

Scott, thanks for saving me the time to do so.  I was about to upgrade to see if it had been fixed.

 

Best Regards,
Charles

As an option, you can install the new version to get to know the new features until you're ready to use it in a production environment. SP 2.1 is typically *chef's kiss* sometime before the end of the year.
