The New Tendon Manager in SOFiSTiK 2025
The videos below focus on the “Tendon Manager” in the SOFiPLUS 2025 Prestressing Tab. The feature enables a quick and efficient overview of the graphically created Tendons in SOFiPLUS. It allows you to graphically control the tendon geometry and modify the properties of multiple tendon elements simultaneously.
The Example
You will learn the principles of the Tendon Manager on a 330-meter-long reinforced concrete arch bridge featuring a superstructure composed of two prestressed girders.
The bridge includes a 180-meter-span reinforced concrete arch with a rise of 55 meters. The arch has a box cross-section, designed as a double-cell structure with a constant depth. The superstructure spans continuously across 11 spans of 30 meters each, consisting of two prestressed girders—the bridge piers, with an elliptical cross-section, range in height from 6 to 64 meters.
Control the Tendons
As a first step, the properties of the tendons are checked in a table. Additionally, the position of the tendons is verified in a 3D overview and a 2D cross-sectional view.
Modify the Tendons
In the second step, the properties of the tendons are modified in the table. This is demonstrated using the name of a tendon geometry and the construction stages of several tendons.
