Parameterskd (N/mm)cd (N·s/mm)kc (N/mm)cc (N·s/mm)

Value285.30.215000.2

kd and cd are the spring stiffness and viscous damping coefficient of the contact between the driving wheels and main cable, respectively; kc and cc are the spring stiffness and viscous damping coefficient of the contact between the compressing wheels and main cable, respectively.
