Unitechnik export: Validation tab

Use the Validation tab to control the Unitechnik export properties.

Option

Description

Draw scanned geometry

The exported geometry can be shown with Draw scanned geometry. This property shows the inside lines of the exported reinforcing bars.

Select whether you want to check if the geometry of the exported parts is correct. It shows the lines representing the exported rectangle of the basic shape, the exported geometry of parts, cuts, embeds, and reinforcement. Embeds are projected to the plane of the basic shape. The reinforcement lines are positioned inside each reinforcing bar.

  1. Basic shape
  2. Geometry of the main element
  3. Cut geometry
  4. Embed geometry

Note that this setting might have significant effect on export processing speed.

Draw pallet axis Select whether to show the coordinate system. The axes are displayed with dotted lines.
Wall to pallet checking Select whether the export checks the wall size against the pallet size. If you select the Yes, if exceeded, do not export option, the Pallet width Pallet length , and Max. cast unit thickness options cannot be empty.
Pallet width Define the pallet width.

On the basis of the pallet width and length, the Wall to pallet checking option is able to check if a wall element is too big to fit to a pallet. If the wall element does not fit to a pallet, the wall element is turned.

Pallet length

Define the pallet length.

Max cast unit thickness

Define the maximum cast unit thickness.

To avoid collision with the drying chamber, the maximum thickness of a cast unit should be smaller than the maximum opening of the drying chamber.

Rebar diameter limitation

Minimum and maximum diameter for the reinforcing bars to be exported.

Rebar length limitation

Minimum and maximum length for the reinforcing bars to be exported.

Rebar leg length limitation

Minimum and maximum length for individual leg section within a bent rebar to be exported..

Mesh wire length limitation (Longitudinal)

Minimum and maximum diameter for longitudinal reinforcing bars to be exported.

Mesh wire length limitation (Cross)

Minimum and maximum length for cross reinforcing bars inside a mesh to be exported.

Mesh wire leg length limitation

Minimum and maximum length for individual leg section within a bent mesh wire to be exported.

Mesh wire overhang limitation

Minimum and maximum length for mesh wire overhang section before the first cross-wire welding point and after the last cross-wire welding point to be exported.

Mesh wire spacing limitation

Allowed spacing values for mesh wires separated by blank space to be exported. If no value added, there is no limitation for spacing.

Export others

Select whether the reinforcing bars that do not meet the above limitations are exported at all ( No ), as loose reinforcing bars of type 4 or 8, or whether the diameter and length limitations are ignored.

You can also select to export non-valid rebars as non-automated or to prevent the export.

When a rebar fails the validation for diameter of length limitation, you are now notified by a log message.
