Create a tendon without a geometric axis by either drawing geometry or selecting existing AutoCAD geometry.
This command offers the user the possibility to create tendons from AutoCAD objects such as lines, polylines, splines and arcs. To define the tendon, the following options are available:
Draw a tendon (first point - next point)
Select object
Pick lines or curves
Polygonal mode
Set working plan
Note
Merging Slab PT with Shell PT or Beam PT in a drawing is not recommended. Of course Shell PT and Beam PT can be mixed.
During the definition of the tendons geometry the properties are given via a dialog.
Presstressing System¶
Stressing forces are computed automatically considering stressing sequences, wedge slip, friction, wobble, etc. The user, however, can limit the max force/stress/factor of the tendon at individual points:
Prestressing: According stresses
This option is conform to the chapter ‘PSIG – Prestressing acc. stresses’ of the manual TENDON. A description of the possibilities and the default values can be found there.
Prestressing: Free Prestressing
This option is conform to the chapter ‘PFAC – Prestressing Factors, Free Prestressing’ of the manual TENDON.
Prestressing: Manual defintion
This option is conform to the chapter ‘PDEF – Prestressing Factors’ of the manual TENDON.
Prestressing: Additional Data
This option is conform to the chapter ‘PDAT – Additional Data of the Prestressing’ of the manual TENDON.
