Insert tendon point between two stations

Insert a series of tendon points at the same cross section position at all stations between two stations

To insert a tendon point between two stations

1. Click Insert tendon point between two stations.
2. If applicable, select the respective structural member in the 3D view window (only in case of several girders/axes).

   Note: If there only exists one structural member of the type girder and when defining additional tendon points in a tendon, this step is omitted, since the structural member is selected automatically. However, to change the structural member in these cases (e.g. to another girder or pier), select (mark) the respective structural member in the tab Structure/Structural Members. Also use this function to change to another structural member during the input.

   After having selected a structural member for the first time, you can choose via the option Keep Structural Member in the Properties window, if the currently selected structural member should be kept for the definition of the next tendon point (default) or if you want to perform a new selection of a structural member.

3. Click the first station as the start point of the tendon point series to be inserted in one of the graphical view windows (3D-Model, Plan or Profile).

   Note: If an existing station is detected, the cross section assigned at this position is displayed in the cross section window. If you click a position between two existing stations, a dialog opens for inserting a new station at this point.

4. Click the second station as the end point of the tendon point series to be inserted in one of the graphical view windows (3D-Model, Plan or Profile).
5. Click the respective point (reference point or grid point) in the cross section of the cross section window to define the position of the tendon at these stations.
6. Directly insert further tendon points between 2 stations (back to 2.) or quit the tool with ESC.
