Mirror tendon

Mirror the entire tendon, that means all defined tendon points of a tendon, relative to a new start position, i.e. a new station point.

That means all tendon points are mirrored, whereat the new start position (station of the first mirrored tendon point) is defined. All subsequent tendon points are moved according to their station differences, whereat missing station points are automatically inserted where required.

Note: Note that not the geometric positions themselves are mirrored, but the particular tendon points according to their positions of their respective reference points. That means, if the positions of the reference points change (e.g. due to a variable cross section height or a variation of the reference points themselves), the geometry of the mirrored tendon will not be identical.

To mirror a tendon

1. Click Mirror tendon.
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.

3. Click the respective station (new start station of the first mirrored tendon point) 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.
