Tendon Horizontal Layout Data Form

Use the Tendon Horizontal Layout Data form to specify the segment, the tendon length and the horizontal offset from the Reference Line.

With respect to defining segment types, clicking the Calculator button will display the  Define Parabolic Tendon {Vertical, Horizontal} Layout by Points form, which can be used to easily specify parabolic alignment(s) for the tendon. When the OK button on the Define Parabolic Tendon {Vertical, Horizontal} Layout by Points form is clicked, the data in the spreadsheet is transferred automatically to the Tendon Layout Data spreadsheet on the Tendon Horizontal Layout Data form. CSiBridge converts the numeric data to appropriate Segment Type and Point Type designations and further entries in the Tendon Layout Data area are not needed.

Note:  These three alternative input approaches can be used together to achieve the desired alignment. For example, use the Quick Start button to initiate the layout using one of the templates. Then right click on a row of data to make program-assisted adjustments using the Modify Tendon Horizontal Layout {Segment Number} form. If further refinement is required, use the Insert, Modify, and Delete buttons to make the final adjustments, if necessary.

The Tendon Layout Display area, the Units, the Move button and the Show Tabular Data button function as described in the Bridge Tendon Data Form topic of this Help.
