Only post-tensioned tendons can be currently (as of V14.0.0) directly modeled in the program. The “Prestress Type” field on the “Tendon Section Data” form is currently inactive and not being utilized by the program as it is intended for future use only. It is still possible to model pre-tensioned tendons with some additional considerations. Please see page Modeling different types of tendons for additional information.
