Query:
1) Why in the second step of loading , new node 108153 is created which is equivalent to 39 kN pretension force at the end of loading. The node number is not found in the model
2) In SPCF file ,The direction of pretension ( 39 kN ) is given in z direction but the reaction magnitude equivalent to pretension obtained is in X direction . kindly explain
3) At the 1.1 loading , the same node 108153 magnitude is minimum - 3828.7 N and slowly increases to 39kN at the end of 2 . Why the trend is slowly increasing?
at 1.1 only 39 kN must be reached is the expectation.

Observation:
108153 is SPNTID obtained from pret file
