Question
Can I place Tendons using coordinates?
Answer
In Tendon Editor Mode, enter the Tendon's coordinates in the Import Profile tab to place the Tendon.
How to use
ㆍAnchorage selects the geometry defined in Base Mode > Model > Component > Tendon > Anchorage (Figure. 1)
ㆍTendon Editor Mode for the tendon after entry, define the profile and properties of the longitudinal
and transverse tendons. (Figure. 2)
ㆍTendon input method allows direct placement of tendons on the screen with the mouse, but below
is an example of entering longitudinal tendons using table values that can be easily extracted from
the drawing (Tendon Arrangement Detail).
