Simulation of a rope or cable in Simscape

Is there a possibility to simulate a rope/cable without using Belt-Cables. Can I for example model a Rope with multiple spring-damper-elements like in other Softwares?

Consider referring to this example, showing two models of a double mass-spring-damper, one on Simulink and the other in Simscape physical networks.

This previously answered question on Modelling Rope in Simulink/Simscape may give you some further insights on your problem. It refers to a submission to the Mathworks File Exchange, Simscape Multibody Multiphysics Library.
