Default Tiptronic Use

Ok, so I am new to this luxury sports sedan thing. Question....I LOVE the Sport and Tiptronic modes on my A6. The question is, and excuse me if it's a dumb question....can I damage the transmission or motor by using either too much? Are they ok to use on a regular basis, or are they meant for short bursts of use? Thanks all!

OK to use as much as you care.

A tiptronic will actually save your motor when a MT (inadvertent downshift, for example) might cause damage to the motor.
