Grade

Define the grade.

This setting is connected to the Size setting.

Size

Define the size.

Click the ... button to open the Select rebar dialog box. Selecting the size also affects the Grade value.

End conditions left

End conditions right

Select the end hook type for the left and right side of the pin bar.

• 90 Degree

  

• 135 Degree

  

• 180

  

• -180

  

• -135

  

• -90

  

• -45

  

• 45

  

Bend lengths left

Define the length of the left end extension.

To define the length, select some other value than Default in End conditions left.

Bend lengths right

Define the length of the right end extension.

To define the length, select some other value than Default in End conditions right.

1

Select the shape of the pin bars.

2

Define the vertical dimensions.

3

Select if both bars 1 and 2 are created, or only one of them.

1

Set the pin bar offset from the sides.

2

Define which pin bars are created.

The bars illustrated as dots are not created.

Number of spaces

Define how many spacings are created for the zone.

Space

Define the spacing value for the zone.

Length

Define the length of the zone. Length is used if Number of spaces is left empty.

Horizontal space

Define the horizontal spacing of pin bars.

This setting is available if you have set Different spacing horizontal and vertical to Yes.

Vertical space

Define the vertical spacing of pin bars.

This setting is available if you have set Different spacing horizontal and vertical to Yes.

1

Define the minimum cover thickness for holes and notches.

1

Pin spacing value between the pins. This value is used to create the spaces when the length of the recess is between the defined values (2 and 3 in the image). Otherwise, the spaces are created using the Space value defined for the Zone.

2

Minimum length of the recess

3

Maximum length of the recess

Creation method

Select how the spacing of pin bars is defined.

• By exact spacings creates fixed spacing between each pin bar.

• By exact spacing value with flexible first and last space creates fixed, regular spaces between the bars. Both the first and last spaces adjust to even out bar distribution.

Different spacing for horizontal and vertical

Select whether to reinforce multiple edges of a wall without changing the settings.

Consider openings

Select whether openings are taken into account and how the bar groups are created.

Create rebars

Select whether edge bars are created.

Standard rebar

Define the grade and size of the first bar group.

Create second group

Select whether to create a second bar group.

Define the grade and size of the second bar group.

1

Define either the spacing value or the number of edge bars. You can define the first and second bar group separately.

2

Define which bars are created.

The bars illustrated as dots are not created.

3

Define the edge distances for the groups.

Comment

Add content to the comment UDA.

Name

Name that is shown in drawings and reports.

Class

Class number for the rebars.

Serie

Prefix for the rebar position number.

Start number

Start number for the rebar position number.

No

Pin bars are not rotated.

Around X

Pin bars are rotated around the x axis.

Around Y

Pin bars are rotated around the y axis.

Create as rebar assembly

Select Yes to create all reinforcement as one rebar assembly, and to include it to the cast unit of the input part.

Rebar assembly type

Select the rebar assembly type.

If you do not select the type, the default value of the rebar assembly is used.

Name, Prefix, Start number

Define the name, prefix, and start number.

If you do not define these, the default values of the rebar assembly are used.

Attach to

Select which part the rebar assembly will be attached to, the main part or the neighbor part.

Define the neighbor part selection criteria on the Configuration tab.

Bending radius

Define the bending radius for pin bars and edge bars.

• rebar_database.inp

  The radius values defined in the rebar catalog for main bars and tie/stirrup are used.

  The rebar_database.inp file is by default located in the \profil folder.

• Relative to diameter

  The radius is calculated by multiplying the rebar diameter with the entered value.

• Bending radius

  Define a fixed value for the bending radius.

Detect outside geometry

Define how part cuts are detected inside the concrete part. Typically, this setting is needed when the concrete part has recess cuts.

Use the Distance in material setting and the options in the position in plane list to move the plane that is used in searching for part cuts.

The plane location is visualized in the model if you set the Draw geometry with profiles to Yes.

Draw geometry with profiles

Select whether to create construction lines to visualize the location of the part cut detection plane.

You can change the location in Distance in material.

Draw axis

Select whether to visualize the internal coordinate system of the component.

If you select Yes, three small parts with a round diameter are created at the component axis, starting from the origin. This can help to set up the component, and to give more clearness in component orientation.

Select No to remove the visualization.

Attach pins to

Attach edge bars to

Select whether the pins and edge bars are attached to the main part or the neighbor part.

Find neighbor

Define how the neighbor part is identified, by name or by class.

Cast unit geometry

Select Yes to create reinforcement for all relevant concrete cast units outside the selected part.
