-MODELER/-PT DESIGN PROCESS

(a) DWG file is imported into ADAPT-Modeler.

(b) Imported drawing is converted into structural

components.
(c) Loads are applied on the structure and load
combinations are created.

(d) Support Lines are generated in two orthogonal directions.

(e) ADAPT-Modeler automatically generates Design Strips

(tributaries) for each user-defined Support Line.

(f) Design Strips are exported to ADAPT-PT.

(g) All the information required to make an ADAPT-PT run

is already entered in the Input Editor, and the program is
ready to calculate.

(h) The program finds a Post-Tensioning

Solution based on the design parameters entered
by the user. In the Recycling Screen, the user can
quickly adjust the provided tendon profile or force to
refine the solution.

(i) The user can also find a solution by defining

the number of tendons and their position
along the support line.
