Pretension force/adjustment

Pretension force/adjustment values for pretension bolts in pretensioning and pretensioned subcases.

PRETENSION FORCE/ADJUSTMENT VALUES ON THE PRENTESION SECTIONS

ITERATION

Iteration_number

Where:

ITERATION is a keyword denoting the beginning of a new iteration.

Iteration_number is the iteration number.

Each iteration section contains the force/adjustment values for each pretension bolt in each static subcase. Each such subcase section is given the following header:

Subcase

Subcase_id

Subcase_label

Where:

Subcase is a keyword denoting the beginning of the current subcase section.

Subcase_id is the user-defined subcase ID

Subcase_label is the user-defined subcase label

Pretension force/adjustment information is then provided, for each bolt, in the following format:

Pretension section ID (PRETENS #)

Force-incr

Adjust-incr

Force-tot

Adjust-tot

Where:

Pretension section ID denotes the pretension section ID (SID of the PRETENS bulk data entry).

Force-incr is the incremental pretension force value when compared to the previous subcase in the loading sequence.

Adjust-incr is the incremental pretension adjustment value when compared to the previous subcase in the loading sequence.

Force-tot is the total pretension force value.

Adjust-tot is the total pretension adjustment value.
