in Leap Concrete, I want to reinforce the void girder similar to the attached drawing, after I added the tendons and the reinforcement rebars (manually) the provided ultimate moment did not differ when the tendons alone and after adding the reinforcement rebars. Does the software consider the reinforcement rebars (in the girders) in ultimate moment calculations?
and I tried to design as CIP RC/ PT Girder but the circular shape is not there, so I have chose a prestressed box girder with circular void
Yes the program considers the reinforcement rebars (in the girders) in ultimate moment calculations.

Regarding the Voids , please click on Geometry TAB --> Cross Section -->section --> PARTS --> under Status Select Hole and assign the voids with reference distances from the center of the girder.
