Change of Detensioning Sequence for Prestressing Strands

You can also change the detensioning sequence of the prestressing strands in a beam. In order to change the detensioning sequence, have the strand design completed and activate the Debonding Pattern screen. The Group text box can now be edited. Select a strand group and change the group number to the desired value.

Note: The group number actually represents the order in which a particular strand group is detensioned with respect to the others. Checks are performed when clicking OK. If any discrepancy is found appropriate warnings will be issued.
