Question:

...

During

...

staged

...

construction

...

,

...

when

...

tendons

...

are

...

modeled

...

as

...

loads,

...

must

...

load

...

be

...

applied

...

to

...

tendons

...

which

...

are

...

grouped

...

using

...

the

...

group

...

ALL

...

feature?

...

Load

...

does

...

not

seem

to

to

individual

tendons

...

or

tendons

within

group.

Answer:

...

When

...

tendons

...

are

...

modeled

...

as

...

loads,

...

tendons

...

do

...

not

...

exist

...

within

...

the

...

model

...

as

...

objects

...

(

...

joints

...

,

...

frames

...

,

...

shells

...

,

...

solids

...

,

...

etc.).

...

As

...

a

...

result,

...

load

...

must

...

be

...

applied

...

to

...

groups

...

which

...

contain

...

these

...

entities.

...

The

...

group

...

ALL

...

feature

...

is

...

useful

...

for

...

this

...

purpose.

...

Three

...

options

...

are

...

available

...

for

...

modeling

...

tendons:

...

  1. Model

...

  1. tendons

...

  1. as

...

  1. objects.

...



  1. Determine which objects will be loaded by stressed tendons, then create groups to control loading.

  2. Apply tendon loads in separate load patterns which are created for each construction stage. Then for a given stage, apply these load patterns to objects within group ALL.
