How to implement truss element with no effect of compression in ansys workbench static structural?

04 January 2021 0 2K Report

I was trying to add ligaments in cervical spine geometry. There it is mentioned in the existing literature to add the ligaments in the geometry as truss element with no effect of compression. However I am confused after creating these ligaments in specified positions as line bodies and implying material properties how to make the connections in the setup and then the compression free effect.
