TendonLink

Document your tendons without redrawing them.

TendonLink stores and transfers post-tensioning tendon data from analysis into documentation.

Analytical tendon layout on an irregular floor, with red tendon runs and control points, green columns, and two penetrations that the tendons avoid.

Documented Revit tendon planThe same complete floor, tendon alignments, penetrations and columns in a documentation drawing style, with one same-length tendon group. Its secondary line is faint but both end symbols are solid. Short illustrative profile ticks appear on every tendon without drawing tags. The tendon ends stop clear of the floor edge and penetrations.

How TendonLink works

You've spent the time analysing the tendons.Don't spend it again drafting them.

TendonLink takes the tendon geometry and design data from the analysis model, stores it, and brings it into the documentation model when you're ready.

  1. 01

    Extract

    Select a design floor and TendonLink automatically retrieves its tendon layout and design data, including end types and offsets, from the analysis model.

  2. 02

    Store

    Store the extracted data for later use. Drafting computers don't need the analysis program installed or a licence for it.

  3. 03

    Import and document

    Bring the stored data into the documentation model. Customize it to your standards together with any drafting requirements you need to see on the drawings.

From RAM Concept data to a Revit tendon plan.

Choose TendonLink Core for the simplest setup. It comes with Revit families built for detailed post-tension drawings.

TendonLink Core already includes these drawing details.

End types and offsets

TendonLink brings end types and offsets from RAM Concept into Revit.

Profile point tags

High, low and intermediate points come through as tags in Revit.

Tendon grouping

TendonLink groups matching, adjacent tendons with faint secondary lines to reduce clutter on drawings.

Want to use your own families? Reach out and we can talk about mapping TendonLink to your drawing standards.

Cropped Revit plan from the earlier workflow, with tendon lines, grouped runs, end symbols and profile values beside an irregular floor edge.

Choose the setup that fits your team.

TendonLink can manage the storage and provide the Revit families, or we can adapt either part to your standards. If you use other programs, let's talk about those too.

TendonLink Core uses managed storage and standard Revit families. Other storage or client-specific families can be scoped as a Custom deployment.

TendonLink Core

We’ll get TendonLink set up for your team and validate the first few imports. The ongoing licence covers updates and support.

Use a different analysis or documentation program?

TendonLink currently only supports RAM Concept and Revit.
Reach out to see how we can make it work for other programs.

Questions

Is TendonLink available now?

Yes. We’ll start with a call to discuss the best path forward, then work with your team to set it up.

How is TendonLink priced?

TendonLink has a setup fee and an ongoing organisational licence. The setup cost depends on your storage and Revit family requirements, with TendonLink Core offering the simplest way to get it working.

What if we use another analysis or documentation program?

RAM Concept and Revit are the current supported programs, but we’re open to supporting others. Reach out and let’s talk about an arrangement that makes sense for both sides.

Does TendonLink produce PT shop drawings?

Not currently. TendonLink is built for the structural engineer’s tendon design plan in Revit. Depending on your requirements, it may be possible to adapt it for shop drawings. Reach out and let’s chat.

How does TendonLink work?

Use TendonLink to extract geometry and design data from a RAM Concept model into a reusable format. The Revit add-in imports that data into plan drawings. If the design changes, extract and import it again.
