Is a concrete double tee just two single tee's combined?

I know it sounds funny but can I just analyze a precast double tee system as a single tee x2? The reason I'm asking is Enercalc only has the capability to analyize a single tee section and I just want to make sure there's not something I'm missing.

Thank you!

I have no idea for the analysis methods of Enercalc . I would prefer to combine the two webs and obtain an equivalent single tee or user defined beam having properties of double tee.
 
Is this a new double tee or old/existing?

There are some 4 ft wide sections in the 1st edition of the PCI Handbook from the link Brad posted above.
