Debonding Prestressed Tendon in Prestressing Editor

Hi,
I want to model a concrete beam with prestressed tendons.
My beam is 37.3m long, if I want to specify a debonded tendon that is debonded 7m on either side, would I just specify the start/end station as (7000 mm and 30300 mm). Would this effect my force transition length?

Hi Alex,
Iā€™m still working with the CADINP language, specifically the TENDON module.
You need to specify the effective start and end stations where the force developed by the tendon will actually act.

Good luck!

Thanks for your response. To be clear is this what I should be doing?
