Summary

How to Run

Specify the location directly, or enter the coordinates of the Tendon to create a longitudinal tendon.

[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.
[Tendon Type]
Select the type of tendon (longitudinal & lateral).
- Select Longitudinal.
[Select Tendon]
Create a new Tendon, or select an existing Tendon.
[Classification]
Select the name and linear type of the tendon.
- Name : Enter the name of the tendon.
- Curve Type : Select the linear type of the tendon.

Spline : Place the tendon by calculating the curve with the lowest curvature among the curves connecting the points.
Round : Place the tendon along the circle that contacts the straight line connecting the points.
Polygonal : Place the tendon by connecting the dots in a straight line.

[Add Profile Point]
In the Tendon Editor Table, in Section View / Side View / Top View, click and enter the point that defines the placement of the tendon.
Alternativley, tendon profiles can be created by entering the coordinates such as Station, Horizontal Offset, or Vertical Offset into the Coordinate Table.

[Section View]
This is a 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.
- The representative point of the tendon position can be selected through Add profile point > point (Single point).
[Top View]
Indicates the top view of the direction of the tendon progression.
- The representative point of the tendon position can be selected through Add profile point > point (Single point).
[Coordinate Table]
The values of the points taken in Section View / Side View / Top View appear in coordinates.
- Points can be added to the Section/Side/Top View by entering the values manually into the table.

[Edit Profile]
Move (symmetric) the coordinates of the tendon relative to the reference point.
- Hor. Mirror : Move the tendon symmetrically in the horizontal direction.
- Ver. Mirror : Move the tendon symmetrically in the vertical direction.
- Move : Move the tendon by an offset (Horizontal/Vertical).
[Rotate Tendon]
Rotate (project) the tendon relative to a specific axis.
- Initial Point : Sets the axis of rotation.
- Offset (Horizontal / Vertical) : The axis of rotation moves horizontally and vertically by the input value from the Initial Point.
- Rotation Angle : Enter the angle at which to rotate relative to the axis of rotation.
- Projection : Select whether to project the tendon.

Initial Point
- Start Point of Tendon : Sets the axis that passes through the start point of the tendon.
- Reference Point : Sets the axis that passes through the reference point of the tendon.
Projection
- Off : Rotate the tendon relative to its axis.
- On : Project the tendon to a plane rotated about its axis. (Used primarily to maintain Offset-Z values)

[Align Type]
Sets the plane placement direction of the tendon relative to the Tendon Path.

Tangential : Sets the plane direction of the tendon to a direction perpendicular to the Tendon Path.
Parallel : Specifies the plane direction of the tendon as parallel to the Global-Z axis.

[Anchorage]
Set the Anchorage of the Tendon defined using the Anchorage function.
[Reset]
Initialize the Tendon settings.
[Preview]
Shows the preview of the created tendon.
