Re: Tension link

Dear elham_ho64, uncheck the box "Active in Compression" in the Basic tab of the reinforcement material definition.

Re: Tension link

I am afraid ATENA 3.3.2 can not be supported any more. Please upgrade to the latest version, 4.2.7g, which is available to all users with valid maintenance agreement. The upgrade installer can be downloaded from our web or you can request the installation CD to be mailed to you.
