The main advantage of wire ropes is their ability to operate under high tensile load and in this way to resist large axial loads. Different types of wire ropes are produced according to increase their strength over the traditional ones. For example compacted wire ropes are low stretch wire rigging which increase the breaking strength and stretch of the wire ropes compared to the traditional wire ropes. Outer wires are formed using a special process called compacting. In this article, a three-dimensional model of different external wire cross-section is examined. For this purpose, a (1+6) wire strand model designed by using elliptical cross-sectional outer wires are designed. Then finite element analysis results for stress, displacement and contact pressure are presented.

6x25 Filler IWRC type ropes belong to 6x19 rope class. It is widely used in 6x19 wire rope class in almost all industrial sectors. Filler type rope has good balance in both wear and fatigue resistance. Drilling lines, cranes, lifting devices, bridges, oil drilling rig, elevators etc. are some of the usage areas. 25 Filler wire strand (1-6-6f-12) consists of two layers of uniform- size wire around a center wire with the inner layer and small filler wires are laid in the holes of the inner layer. In this paper, three-dimensional meshed model of 6x25 Filler IWRC was created by using parametric equations. Using the proposed three-dimensional model, a finite element analysis is conducted by applying displacement boundary condition to one end and encastre boundary condition is applied to the other end of the wire rope. The results of the analysis show that the proposed model can be used in analysis studies under different loading conditions.
