How to apply tension in cable?

  Hello
  
  I am modeling a cable as beam element what is an alternative of applying tension instead of bolt-pretension? Since after static structural step I am considering the modal and harmonic response leading to some errors in natural frequency.
  For example, applying bolt pretension leads to a good result for stress, but in terms of natural frequency first value is 0 in harmonic response.
  I appreciate any type of help

  Use the INISTATE command to tension a cable without using a Bolt Pretension load.
