Optimizable Objects

Banded tendon polylines, distributed tendon quadrilaterals, and profile polylines are currently optimizable in RAM Concept .

This means that the program can automatically adjust the property values defined for these objects to solve for a valid design and find the most economical solution. Manual tendons can be drawn and will be considered in the calculations, but cannot be optimized. Therefore, while optimizing you will normally only work with objects on the tendon parameters layer and not the manual tendon layer.
