I know that RM Bridge can handle post-tensioned beam,
Is RM Bridge be able to model pre-tensioned beam?
If so, is there any example or tutorial?
Hi netsonic,
Yes, RM has pre-tensioned tendons, too.
Please, log one Service Request for it, I'll be very happy in helping you.

Hi,
For PT pres-stressed beams, it is just slightly different from post-tensioned; so, check the example at the link below from FAQ/Demo:
Marcos Beier
I have two quesions regarding the demo "Two-span Composite Bridge Concrete/Concrete"
According to RMBridge manula, there is a "PreTens", the description says
This action allows for calculating the effective prestressing forces (primary state in concrete) of pretensionedtendons.
Why not use "PreTens" in the demo model?
You can use both tendon types "Internal" and "Pre-tensioned" to model Pretensioned tendons.
Probably the model was done before the pretensioned option is available to Users.
