Model post-tensioned structures more accurately with shells as well as using beams or volumes, and incorporate time-stage with creep and shrinkage.
Span-by-span, progressive placement, balanced cantilever and incremental launching time staged construction methods are supported.
Use the post-tensioned bridge wizard to generate a box girder as constructed by the "Free Cantilever Method".
Define tendon profiles either manually, by copying and pasting data from a spreadsheet, or from selecting by selecting lines, arcs or splines that are defined or imported into LUSAS Modeller.
Define tendon properties and allow for elastic shortening due to stressing of other tendons according to the design code, or specify user-defined percentage losses to be taken into effect. For design codes that support it, time dependent effects can also be considered.
