'General' tab
Created on:
Date of creation of the data record.
Last modified:
The most recent modification date.
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 2 m. 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.
'Bottom reinf.' tab
The values you enter here apply to the bottom reinforcement layer.
'Top reinf.' tab
The values you enter here apply to the top reinforcement layer.
The following applies for both tabs:
Longitudinal bars:
Selection box for the diameter catalog. You can specify up to 3 or 2 longitudinal bar diameters (layers) for the bottom and top reinforcement in a panel.
Cross bars:
Selection box for the diameter catalog. You can specify up to 2 cross bar diameters (layers) for the bottom and/or top reinforcement in a panel. The first layer is mostly used for spacers (see configuration entry for NC generator), 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.
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.
Mesh:
Selection box for the mesh catalog. You can specify up to 2 basic meshes for the bottom reinforcement or 1 basic mesh for the top reinforcement in a panel.
The program automatically rotates the diagonals of the meshes in the top reinforcement layer.
as-Value:
as-Values of the reinforcement type. The program searches the reinforcement types for the as-Value of the bottom reinforcement, if you reinforce according to "as required".
'->Panel type' tab
Assignment of the individual entries to the appropriate panel types.
The selected entry is applicable only to the selected panel types. If no panel type is selected, the entry is valid for all the panel types.
