TENDONREPORT

Create a report for the tendons and output the results in an Excel-sheet

The file is stored in a subfolder of the project directory with the name “Tendons”.

Arguments

elong: Elongation

Option to output the elongations due to the tendon stressing

These values represent the absolute elongations of the tendons in the sequence of the particular applied stressing actions.

forces: Forces

Option to output the tendon forces

These forces purely result from the geometric calculation of losses based on the applied tendon stressing. They represent the forces which are applied onto the actual structure in the calculation

geo: Geometry

Option to output the tendon geometry by means of eccentricities of the particular tendon positions relative to certain points and coordinate systems

The absolute coordinates of the reference point (x/y/z) are always output additionally.

refpt: Reference point

Optional input of a reference point in relation to which the eccentricities are output relative to the cross section coordinate system (y/z)

If this input remains empty, then the eccentricities are output relative to the origin of the cross section coordinate system.

gridpt: Point grid

Optional input of a point grid + optionally grid point

The eccentricities are relative to the origin of the point grid (syntax: name_point_grid(indices_grid_point), where indices_grid_point: u:v).

Example: Name of the point grid Grid 1, name of the grid point: P3:2, syntax: Grid 1(3:2)

In this case the eccentricities are output relative to the defined local coordinate system of the point grid (u/v).

Note: The input of gridpt can additionally be used in parallel to refpt.

step: Step

Input of the step width, in which the results should be output (e.g. 1 meter intervals)

Note that the results are exactly evaluated and output even at those positions where no tendon points are defined.

xlsout: File

Name of the MS-Excel file, in which the results should be output
