Features
Modeling Capabilities
Project parameters entered using simple step-by-step design wizard
Bonded (grouted) and unbonded post-tensioning
One-way and two-way floor systems and beam frames
Multiple beam cross-sections: rectangular, T, L and I
Drop caps, drop panels, steps above and below the slab
3D solid model viewer for visual verification of input geometry
Imports input data for design strip from ADAPT-Builder suite of programs
Supports multiple tendon profiles anchored at different locations
Analysis Capabilities
Equivalent frame or simple frame method of analysis
Allowance for cracking in deflection calculation of beams and one-way slab systems
Calculation of long-term losses due to creep, shrinkage, and relaxation in prestressing
Friction and elongation calculations
Design and Automatic Code Checks
Automatically generates first-pass post-tensioning design optimized for:
User-specified range of precompression
Allowable tensile and compression stress limits
User-specified range of dead load balancing
Interactive design summary page (Recycle Window) gives overview of analysis results and allows for rapid optimization
Graphical display of tendon profile eliminates errors while editing post-tensioning
Graphical display of stress levels against user specified stress limits while editing post-tensioning allows the user to immediately see the effects of the changes on the design!
Beam shear and punching shear checks
Reinforcement check for strength and minimum requirements of the code
Design of reinforcement for lateral load cases
Output and Reports
A graphical display of the structural model and tendon profile
Graphical and tabular display of location, length and amount of required reinforcement
DXF export of tendon elevation showing CGS or support heights
