Analyzing of a basic reinforced concrete beam with Teddy

Hey all, I am trying to analyze a basic reinforced concrete beam with Teddy to understand SOFiSTiK better.
In a first step I made a beam with a full concrete cross section and ran the analysis while at the same time doing the hand calculations to see if everything behaved as I expected, which it did.

In a second step I then tried adding reinforcement but i noticed the concrete stresses did not lower, so it seems the calculation does not take into account the reinforcement I placed.

In a next step I also want to place pretensioned reinforcement in the beam.

Can anyone help me what needs to be changed in the following Teddy script?

Dear Klaas,

please have a look inside our verification examples. There you will find TEDDY Examples with hand calculation to several topics

Also see the TEDDY Examples CSM= Construction Stage Manager, with lots of post tensioned examples.
Have a nice day
