Command

SOF_PT_TENDON_MANAGER

Tooltip

Opens a table with all tendons in the drawing. Slab tendons are not considered.

This opens a two-part dialog box. The upper section provides a graphical overview of the system and the defined tendons. The lower section contains a table listing all the defined tendons, where you can modify the properties of multiple tendons simultaneously.

Tendon or tendon geometries marked in the table are highlighted in the graphical overview.

Graphical part

Use the small cross-section icon icon_section_view at the top left to activate a detailed view of the cross section. This will display an axis selection option, a slider with the axis station values, and a 2D view of the cross section.

Tabular part

The tabular part is divided into three tabs:

  • Summary

    The Summary tab provides an overview in a tree structure. It begins with the reference element, followed by the tendon geometry, and finally, a list of the tendons.

  • Geometry

    The Geometry tab contains a list of all defined tendon geometries. The left part is not editable and includes information about the reference element and the type of geometry.

  • Tendon

    The Tendon tab lists all defined tendons. The Geometry column contains information about the reference element and the tendon geometry.

Tutorial

Restrictions

Currently, only beam systems can be visualized, and structural areas are not shown.

Note

This limitation can be bypassed by drawing dummy structure lines around the structural areas.

To display the 2D cross section, the structure line must currently be associated with an axis.
