How can I design prestressed concrete in SAP2000?

Prestressed Concrete Beam Concrete E =4400 ksi, Poissons Ratio = 0.2 f’c = 6 ksi Cable Tension = 200 kips To Do Determine the moment diagram for a DL + LL + PRESTRESS loading combination.
Compare the results using 4 output segments and using 30 output segments.
wDL = 2.2 klf (not including beam weight) w = 1.6 klf LL Note: Our intent is that you try this problem on your own first.
After you have solved it on your own, you can step through our solution if desired.
If you have problems trying to create the model, then follow the steps in our solution.
