How model GP Prestressed Composite Truss Girder-PCT ?

Trusses can be modeled very easily using "Link Segments" in GP/Modeler.

I attach an example of a truss bridge that shows the princple functionality.

Of course these principles can easily be combined with your composite section. You just need to set up the cross-section using different "parts" for top and bottom slab and connect them by the link segments for the pipes.
