Hi, I'm trying to model a prestressed concrete column, did you find any information about modeling prestressed concrete in OPENSEES? Any information would be appreciated, thanks.

You can simulate the pre-stresses reinforcing steel in the material level by using steel02.
uniaxialMaterial Steel02 $matTag $Fy $E $b $R0 $cR1 $cR2 <$a1 $a2 $a3 $a4 $sigInit>
define the parameter $siglnit to set the initial stress.
Good luck!
