Reinforcement settings for drawings (rebar_config.inp)
Reinforcement settings for drawings (rebar_config.inp)
Tekla Structures uses the settings in the rebar_config.inp file in the ..\ProgramData\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\<environment>\system folder to define the following reinforcement-related issues in drawings:
Selected area-specific reinforcing bar bending schedule
Rounding of bar dimensions
Available symbols for meshes, strands, and unbonding
Appearance of reinforcement pull-outs
The entries in the rebar_config.inp are listed and described below:
Entry |
Description |

MergeOneFormat |
No longer used. Define these properties in the drawing properties. |

LeaderLinetype |

DimensionMarkSpacingSeparator |
= "/" Affects the separator in reinforcement marks. |
ExactDimensionMarkSpacingSeparator |
= " + " Separator between different exact spacing values in reinforcement marks. |
ExactDimensionMarkPcsSeparator |
= "*" Separator between the number of bars and their exact spacing value in reinforcement mark. |
BendingAngleTolerance |
Set a tolerance value for the angle. Angles that differ from the set tolerance value less than the tolerance are recognized and lead to a correct bending shape. Enter the tolerance value as a radians, not as a degree. The default value is 0.001 radians, which is 0.0573 in degrees. This applies to all bending shapes. |
BentRebarTolerance |
Set a tolerance value. Depending on the value, slightly curved reinforcing bars get straight shape. If reinforcing bar diameter is 20 mm and radius is 200 m then value 20/200000 = 0.0001. This variable defines correct curved reinforcing bar in case of long reinforcing bars to get a correct shape for the bar. This option is used in comparing the relation of the reinforcing bar diameter and radius. If the relation is smaller than BentRebarTolerance , the reinforcing bar is of bend_type_1, otherwise it is of bend_type_34. |
PullOutBendingRadiusAsMultiplier |
Set to 1 to show the pullout bending radii using multiplier instead of mm. |
GroupBarMark |
No longer in use. |
MarkingDimAttributes |
No longer in use. |
ScheduleCountry |
Defines which bending schedule is used. Affects bending shapes in templates and reports. The available schedules are FIN, SWE, UK, US. When you number the model, the bending shape for the bar is given according to this information. For example, in the Default environment, the bending shapes are letters A, B, C, and so on. |
ScheduleDimensionRoundingDirection ScheduleTotalLengthRoundingDirection |
Options:
|
ScheduleDimensionRoundingAccuracy |
Sets the rounding accuracy for bar dimensions. Default is 1 mm. Tekla Structures rounds individual bar dimensions up or down according to the option you select for ScheduleDimensionRoundingDirection. |
ScheduleTotalLengthRoundingAccuracy |
Sets the rounding accuracy for the total bar length. Default is 10 mm. Tekla Structures rounds individual bar dimensions up or down according to the option you select for ScheduleTotalLengthRoundingDirection. |
BentSymbolFile |
Points to the symbol file that contains the available reinforcing bar bent symbols. By default, points to the file bent.sym , which in the default environment is located in the folder ..\ProgramData\Tekla Structures\<version>\\environments\common\symbols. |
MeshSymbolFile |
Points to the mesh symbol file that contains the available mesh symbols. Affects the available reinforcement mesh symbols in drawings. By default, points to the mesh.sym file in the ...\Tekla Structures\<version>\\environments\common\symbols folder. |
StrandSymbolFile |
Points to the strand symbol file that contains the available strand symbols. Affects drawings. By default, points to the strand.sym file in the ...\Tekla Structures\<version>\environments\common\symbols folder. |
UnbondingSymbolFile |
Points to the unbonding symbol file that contains the available unbonding symbols. |
RebarMeshSize |
Template for rebar mesh size. |
PullOutDimensionFormat |
Defines the format for displaying the dimensions. The format follows the dimension properties format. Options:
|
PullOutDimensionPrecision |
Sets the level of precision. The precision is calculated using the following formula: 1/value = precision. In metric systems, you may want to use the values 1, 10, and 100, and in imperial systems, the values 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32, for example. |
PullOutDimensionUnit |
Defines the units to use. Options:
|
PullOutColor |
Sets the color for the pull-outs in reinforcement marks. Options:
|
PullOutVisibleLineType |
Sets the line type for reinforcing bar shape in pull-outs. Options: 1 = 2 = 3 = 4 = 5 = 6 = 7 = |
PullOutRepresentation |
Sets the representation type. Options:
|
PullOutAngleColor |
Sets the color for the angle in pull-outs. Options:
|
PullOutAngleLineType |
Sets the line type for angle lines in pull-outs. Options:
|
PullOutLeaderLineMinLength |
Sets a minimum length for the small leader lines that point to the dimension text. The default value is 10 mm. To switch leader lines off completely, use a large value. |
PullOutShowDuplicateDims |
Defines whether duplicate dimensions are showed multiple times for one bar. Options:
|
PullOutShowUSHookDims |
Defines if the US/NA style of dimension will be shown for hooks over 90 degrees. Options:
See the image below for the difference between the US/NA (A) and European (B) hook dimension. |
