Form: Tendon Load
Use the Assign menu > Load Data > Tendon Loads command to assign post-tensioning loads to a selected tendon object.
Select one or more tendon objects and click the Assign menu > Load Data > Tendon Loads command to access the Tendon Load form. On that form, select and enter data in the following categories:
Load Pattern Names: Select previously defined load patterns from the drop-down lists. Jacking stress and short-term losses are applied to the selected tendons as part of the Transfer Name load pattern, and jacking stress, short-term losses and long-term losses are applied as part of the Final Name load pattern. Click the buttons to add, edit or review load patterns.
Tendon Jacking Stress: Enter a value for the tendon stress at jacking before short-term losses.
Jack From This Location: Select where the tendon should be jacked: the I-End (start) of the tendon, J-End (end) of tendon, or both ends.
Note: End I (start) and End J (end) points may be identified by right clicking on a tendon object and selecting the Geometry tab on the Tendon Object Information form. End I (start) is Point 1 on this form, while End J (end) is the last point in the list.
