There is no possibility to do it in Seismostruct directly. You can only simulate the prestressed beam by applying axial forces to the center of gravity of the tendon. But in this way only the axial stresses are simulated, not the bending moments due to the shape of tendon.

<t><br/>
This could happen either because of low value for update frequency parameter (which is defined in Adaptive Pushover Advanced Settings module) or because of convergence failure in eigenvalue analysis.<br/>
In the first case you should adjust this parameter, while in the other case you should ...

The behaviour that you have described above is produced automatically by seimsostruct if you define the proper material models for concrete and steel, and run pushover analysis with response control.

It is not possible to introduce your own stress-strain law. You can implement one of the available concrete or steel models (view user manual) and examine if one of them (by giving the proper parameter values) could be suitable for your case.

<t>Provided that you have used the default orientation nodes for the link, your model seems correct to me.<br/>
In any case you can test your model by applying a permanent vertical load to the lower node of the column. If the load is applied downward, you should get vertical dispacement, while in ...

Right now they are not available. We'll keep a note for future versions.
