Features and Capabilities
- Boundary element analysis and design of post-tensioned slabs.
- A tool to check or to verify existing software results.
- Accounts for losses [friction (curvature and wobble), anchor set, elastic shortening, concrete creep, concrete shrinkage, and steel relaxation].
- No internal discretization, cables can be placed freely.
