Tendons with stressing force from both sides

SOFiSTiK SOFiPLUS

I have problem to model from the origin design tendons with stressing force at the same time “from both sides” in sofistik 2026, by using sofiplus or ssd.

i tried using the option stress direction, first right the left or left then right, but it overwrites result and results always shows the tendon forces diagram like it is prestressed from one side.

but i wanted to ask if its possible to include tendons with stressing direction at the same time from both sides.

Thank you very much on your prompt repsonse.

Kind regards

Your tendon is probably too short.

You stress the tendon from one side and get a result. The stressing from the other side “overrides” the first stressing since your losses are bigger than from the previous stressing.
