The integration between Beam and Detail allows the transfer of prestressing tendons and reinforcement when importing an entire design member. This ensures that critical data is preserved for accurate analysis and verification.

In IDEA StatiCa Beam, users can solve complex prestressed beam tasks, including TDA (time dependent analysis) and LTB (lateral torsion buckling). In IDEA StatiCa Detail, they can account for discontinuity regions, such as openings and dapped ends, without the need to remodel or reload the beams from scratch.

Import of prestressing

Both pre-tensioned and post-tensioned prestressing tendons and strands are imported along with their key properties. This includes tensioning stress, input values for loss calculation, material specifications, and prestressing position, ensuring accurate data transfer for analysis and design.

For post-tensioned tendons, the layout in the XZ plane is transferred, while the geometry in the XY plane is omitted as Detail operates with a 2D plane model. Additionally, the transfer includes material properties, the number of strands per tendon, prestressing origin, anchorage stresses, anchorage set, friction coefficient, and unintended angular change. For more information related to post-tensioning in Detail, including tendon stresses, losses, loading, combinations, etc., read the following article: Prestressing in Detail - Post tensioned tendons

For pre-tensioned strands, straight strand layers in the XZ plane are transferred. The data included for each layer consists of geometry in the XZ plane, stress immediately after release (σ_pm0), blanked lengths, and the number of strands per layer, ensuring accurate prestressing details in the model.

Import of reinforcement

Reinforcement can be imported based on a single section, automatically generating pre-reinforcement within the Detail application. This pre-reinforcement serves as a starting point that can be easily adjusted and refined into its final form.

By directly transferring reinforcement details from Beam to Detail, engineers can avoid redundant remodeling, saving both time and effort while maintaining accuracy and consistency across design stages.
