Explanation


Tendon Combination

Create a Longitudinal Tendon by combining the Tendon Profiles.

 

[Tab] Create

  • [Reference Point]
    Defines the reference origin of the tendon coordinates.

    • Offset (Horizontal/Vertical): Define the reference point by moving it horizontally/vertically from the start point of the Tendon Path as input.

  • [Anchorage]
    Set the Anchorage of the Tendon defined by the Anchorage function.

  • [Preview]
    Shows the preview of the created tendon.

Sub Panel

  • [Section View]
    This is the view of the Tendon direction section.

    • The positions of the Tendon Point and the Reference Point are shown in red and blue, respectively.

    • The position of the upper dial at the bottom of Section View indicates the station where the current section is located. (Left → Right)

    • The lower dial at the bottom of Section View can adjust the size of the Tendon name.

  • [Side View]
    Displays the side view of the direction of the tendon progression. This indicates the placement of a set Vertical Profile.

  • [Top View]
    Displays the top view of the direction of the tendon progression. This indicates the placement of a set Horizontal Profile.

  • [Profile Combination Table]
    Combines the Vertical Profile and Horizontal Profile, and places the Tendon in 3D space.

  • Tendon Name : Enter the name of the tendon.

  • Vertical Profile : Select Vertical Profile.

  • Horizontal Profile : Select Horizontal Profile.

The Verical / Horizontal Profile can be selected within the Profile Group set up by the Tendon Group.

  • Horizontal Offset : Based on the Reference Point, enter the Offset value to move the Tendon in the horizontal direction (Y direction).

  • Rotation Angle : Enter the angle at which to rotate relative to the axis of rotation.

  • Rotation Point : Sets the axis that passes through the reference point of the tendon.

  • Projection : Select whether to project the tendon.

    • Off : Rotates the tendon profile relative to its axis.

    • On : Project the tendon profile to a plane rotated about its axis. (Used primarily to maintain Offset-Z values)
