Setting | Description |

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). |
