hi,

I´m new in this program and i want to do the model of pre-stressed concrete element. First of all is it possible to do it and get quite precise results? Can someone help me and explain how to do that? Where should i start?

Hi

I believe it is possible to model, but the precision will only depend on what you put in and specially the material data and their correctness.

I would start with the structural modules, to "laod" it to define your prestress and learn how to save the first static simulation to later restart with the pre-strerssed model for further analysis

Hope this helps
