Hi Ivan,
I can't remember this particular example, but generally if you are combining sticks with membranes/cables, you would just make the sticks fairly stiff springs and not subdivide them at all.
The file with the download 'tensegmem.ghx' is somewhat similar, maybe that helps.
There were also quite a few examples of sticks combined with cables in this thread about tensegrity structures:
