SettingDescription
Point Tendon point name, which gives the current position of the tendon in the cross section of the corresponding element.
rlpos x/l "Related position" – position of the tendon in the element in longitudinal direction, defined as a proportion of the element length (x/l).
alpha1 Angular constraint in the x/y plane relative to the reference element orientation. No input will set it to free (i.e., deflection is calculated by the program).
alpha2 Angular constraint in the x/z plane relative to the reference element orientation. No input will set it to free (i.e., deflection is calculated by the program).
