Viewing post-tensioning precompression (P/A)

Precompression plans can be useful for viewing the level of tendon prestress and the effect of restraining supports. The default plans plot axial stress at mid-depth at each finite element node. These values include the effects of the post-tensioning and the restraining effects of walls and columns in the specified direction.

To view the precompression in the x-direction

Choose Layers > Loadings > Balance Loading > Fx Precompression Plan.
Strip-based precompression plots with options to include or exclude the restraining effects can also be plotted.
