Tension in cable in Simscape

Hi there,
Is there a direct way to get the tension in a cable in Simscape when using pulleys and belts?
Looking at the documentation, there doesnt seem to be anything under the Belt-cabel properties.
Is the work arounf the torque on the pulley with the radius to get the cabel tension?
Thanks in advance
Gerard

Tension needs to be measured at the end of the cable. I recommend you have at the end of the cable
Belt-Cable-End <=> Rigid Transform <=> Translational Joint with a stiff spring on Internal Mechanics <=> Rigid transform.
You can measure the force from the Translational Joint.

hello .
I have a question . can i measure length of belt-cable end ?
Regards
I ' m also tring to measure the tension in my belt or cable. The belt connection is between several pulleys and i want to know the tension between them. For this i break my connection and add 2 belt-cable end at each end and in between them i added a pin slot joint, but the issue is at the start of my simulation, the arrangment starts from origin and my simulation terminates. I tried with rigid transformation but i don't know how to use it correctly. Will be able to guide me in this context?
