Tendon stressing
Activates tendons. Stressing actions for the tendons activated in this load type must already be defined in stress labels. The stressing action (schedule action STRESS), last performed before calculating the current load case, governs the actual stressing force. If a tendon is stressed in steps, it must be defined wether the total stressing force of a stress level has to be applied or only the differential force when compared to a previously applied stress group.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| From, To, Step | Series of tendons to be stressed. |
| Assembly | Not applicable in this context.. |
| Increment force | The difference force compared to a stress group is applied. The tendon will be partially stressed (more stressing actions). |
| Total force | The entire force of a stress group is applied. The tendon will be stressed at once (only one stressing action). |
