Adds a control point in plan view.

PREP7 : PRESTRESSED CONCRETE: Tendon editor

NUM

Point number.

CUT

Cut number.

ZCOORD

Z coordinate, according to the section axes.

SLOPE

Tendon slope in the point, in the horizontal plane, according to the section axes.

INFDIST

Distance ratio of the inflection point (default value 0.5). In case the tendon is defined from this point to another point with the same slope, two vertical axis parabolas will be fitted, with the inflection point (common tangent between both curves) located as shown in the figure:

Notes

-       Two points in plan view cannot have the same number, but can be on the same cut.

-       The plan view and elevation view numbering are independent.

-       A point in plan view does not need to have associated a control point in elevation view in the same cut.
