2 1 TRANSFER OF INPUT INFORMATION FROM ADAPT-FLOOR PRO TO ADAPT-PT OR ADAPT-RC AND BACKWARD TRANSFER OF TENDON DESIGN FROM ADAPT-PT TO ADAPT-FLOOR PRO 1.1 Overview This section explains how you can export input data from ADAPT-Floor Pro to ADAPT- PT or ADAPT-RC, perform an optimal design for your post-tensioning project using ADAPT-PT or reinforced concrete project using ADAPT-RC, and have the details of your optimized post-tensioning design automatically transferred to ADAPT-Floor Pro from ADAPT-PT. The backward transfer of design information from PT to Floor Pro eliminates the initial guesswork involved in the selecting tendon and force layout, that are prerequisite to the designs performed using finite element programs. While ADAPT- Floor Pro does include partial tendon optimization tools, ADAPT-PT will allow a complete tendon design be performed based on the strip method. The steps involved are: Generate a three-dimensional model of your structure in ADAPT-Floor Pro, including the material properties, design criteria and loads. Define support lines and create design strips in ADAPT-Floor Pro. Export the design strips to ADAPT-PT or ADAPT-RC. Execute the imported design strips in ADAPT-PT or ADAPT-RC and obtain optimum designs for each. Transfer the tendon profile and force obtained in ADAPT-PT to the associated design strip in ADAPT-Floor Pro. Designs obtained in ADAPT-RC cannot be transferred back to ADAPT-Floor Pro. Validate the tendons imported from ADAPT-PT in ADAPT-Floor Pro and use the imported tendon designs as the basis of the Floor Pro analysis. The procedure is detailed, using the simple example shown in Figure 1-1. The intended use of this tutorial is for users who have a basic understanding and familiarity of the ADAPT-Floor Pro and ADAPT-PT programs. The steps for the creation of the example model are not covered in this document. For a more detailed process of model creation see the ADAPT-Floor Pro Getting Started Guide.

The intent of locking certain data fields is to retain the compatibility of the imported data with its source in ADAPT-Floor Pro. Other information, necessary for the execution of ADAPT-PT or ADAPT-RC will be filled in with the program s default and is available for editing. If necessary, you can unlock the data fields imported from ADAPT-Floor Pro, using the Unlock tool shown in Figure Once you unlock the data, it is deemed to have lost its compatibility with ADAPT-Floor Pro and cannot be transferred back to ADAPT-Floor Pro (Figure 1.7-1). FIGURE Execution of the program in ADAPT-PT or ADAPT-RC is described in detail in User Manual of ADAPT-PT or ADAPT-RC. ADAPT PT 2010/RC 2010 to ADAPT Floor Pro 2009/2010 Strip Export Tutorial 25

26 Once the design is completed in ADAPT-PT and you exit the program from PT Recycling window, the message box shown in Figure will advise you that your design is available to be imported in ADAPT-Floor Pro. The data for import of design values to ADAPT-Floor Pro is saved under the file name Support Line #.tdn in the folder STRIP_MODEL/Current_plane/Support Line #. You need not open ADAPT- Floor Pro for processing the data from ADAPT-PT immediately. You can continue with the optimization of the post-tensioning of other design strips, and recall the saved data in ADAPT-Floor Pro when it is convenient. FIGURE Please make a note that design optimized in ADAPT-RC imported from ADAPT-Floor Pro cannot be recalled in ADAPT-Floor Pro. 1.8 Recall of PT Data from ADAPT-Floor Pro To recall the optimized tendon design in ADAPT-Floor Pro, open the file of the floor system and display the support lines. Select the support line for which you intend to import the data. You may select more than one support line, if you wish to import data for multiple design strips.

FIGURE 1.8-1 The program reads the data prepared by ADAPT-PT and displays the tendons overlapped on the support line.

27 FIGURE The program reads the data prepared by ADAPT-PT and displays the tendons overlapped on the support line. The design obtained in ADAPT-PT may consist of a continuous tendon over the entire length of the support line and/or a tendon that covered the part of some span and/or left/right cantilever. The short tendons terminating in middle of the spans are identified with a handle (short sloping line). The handle is a visual display intended to (a) indicate the location of terminated tendons, and (b) provide a graphic that you can select for editing the associated tendons. As an example, the data imported for design strip 1 is shown in Figure FIGURE ADAPT PT 2010/RC 2010 to ADAPT Floor Pro 2009/2010 Strip Export Tutorial 27

While being imported from ADAPT-PT, the program displays the message box of Figure 1.

28 While being imported from ADAPT-PT, the program displays the message box of Figure and it overwrites any previously imported tendons from ADAPT-PT for the same design strip that you did not validate to be retained. FIGURE The imported tendons are initialized with the Disregard status. They remain disregarded until you validate them. 1.9 Validation of PT Data in ADAPT-Floor Pro The imported tendons will be initially given a Disregard status by the program. That is, they will be displayed in the model; you can edit them, but they will not be considered in the analysis and design, unless you change their status to Consider. You change the status of a tendon in the FEM tab of the tendon property box (Figure 1.9-1) FIGURE ADAPT PT 2010/RC 2010 to ADAPT Floor Pro 2009/2010 Strip Export Tutorial 28

29 If (a) there are any imported tendons from a previous ADAPT-PT execution for the same design strip, and (b) their status is not yet changed to Consider by you, the latest import of design data will overwrite the existing information. In other words, at any given stage, the tendons displayed in ADAPT-Floor Pro are either from the latest ADAPT-PT import, or are those you have viewed and determined to be retained and considered in your design. To validate a tendon, you can open its property window and view its particulars. A powerful tool to view the tendon in elevation is the elevation viewer tool ( ) from the tendons property window.
