Created on:
Date of creation of the data record.
Last modified:
The most recent modification date.
Consecutive #:
This entry box is displayed for information only and cannot be modified. The program automatically adjusts the consecutive number when data records are added or removed.
Name:
User-defined name, which is displayed during the design process and in the list box of the Prompts configuration.
Description:
User-defined name that can be included in labels for element plans or lists/schedules (not yet implemented).
Search criterion:
By entering a search criterion for reinforcement parameters in the design tool, you can filter the reinforcement types. This enables you e.g., to use just reinforcement types complying with a search criterion "Q".
The search criterion could also be used as a limit to length by entering "L= " along with a value. If you enter e.g., "L=2", then this reinforcement type is only used up to a panel length of 2m. This function allows you to use several reinforcement types with the same as-Value for different panel lengths. It is assumed that the reinforcement types are created in ascending as-Values.
Additional concrete:
[cm] In cases where the reinforcement type requires it, you can specify some additional concrete. This value is added to the panel thickness entered.
as total:
The program searches the reinforcement types for this value, if you reinforce according to "as required". You cannot edit this field. It simply displays the entry on the Reinforcement data tab. (Changes are only applied after saving.)
'Reinforcement data' tab
Longitudinal bars:
Selection box for the diameter catalog. You can specify up to 3 longitudinal bar diameters (layers) for the reinforcement in a panel.
Cross bars:
Selection box for the diameter catalog. You can specify up to 2 cross bar diameters (layers) for the reinforcement in a panel. The first layer is mostly used for spacers (see NC generator configuration), the second to place the required amount of cross bar reinforcement.
Distribution:
Offsets or pattern of the bars. This is mainly entered with edge offset and distribution parameters (e.g., 50,200*60 = 50mm edge offset, then 200mm up to 60 times). You can enter a reference letter for the filling mode (pattern): the formula fills a data entry field, which has a limit of 200 entries. You can also have a maximum of 200 bars per layer. If the formula exceeds 200 entries, then the placement does not fill the panel. (For example: 30.50*199 places cross bars up to max. 9.98m (199*5 +3cm edge offset). A 10.5m long panel would be too long).
N: (normal): (does not have to be specified) start of placement from one side to the end of the panel.
S: (symmetrical): start of placement from middle outward to both sides.
K: (edge): start of placement first from one side to the middle and then from the other side to the middle.
Z: number of bars between the girders. The number must be less than 10.
U: number of bars under the girders. The number must be less than 10 and entered as a negative value.
The values must be separated by commas.
The first number shows the edge offset or first offset; the other numbers indicate the spacing between axes. Enter * to multiply. Parentheses are also supported.
You have to enter a total for the number of bars such that the maximum panel width or length can be fully covered. It does not matter if you have too many repetitions, because at the panel end the placement is just terminated.
Meshes:
Selection box for the mesh catalog. You can specify up to 2 basic meshes for the reinforcement in a panel.
as-Value:
as-Value of the reinforcement type. The program searches the reinforcement types for this value, if you reinforce according to "as required".
You can have the cross sectional area calculated automatically by clicking the 
Calculator symbol at the bottom edge of the tab. (The symbol is disabled if the current data record was not altered).
'->Fact.' tab
Assignment of the individual entries to the relevant factories.
The selected entry is applicable to the selected factories. If no factory is selected, the entry is valid for all the factories.
