Enter pre-stress loads for beams, or modify or delete previously entered loads.
The concept of defining the pre-stress loads in beams is illustrated below.
The cable drape is located on a 2-D curve passing through 3 eccentric points. It is assumed that the eccentric points are on the beam element's local x-z plane. The tension in the cable is assumed to be uniform over the entire length of the drape.
