Dear Mr Diether!
Thank for your help file.

I get into trouble with External Prestressing, how model tendon at Deviator Block.
I read RM's help "ANALYSIS USER GUIDE" but I am not clear.
Could you send me more Documents about External Prestressing?
Its well if you send me file example.

Thank for your kindness.

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.
